V.1: C / Am / F / G
I swept up all the tinsel from underneath the tree
Put away the presents I had gift-wrapped just for me
F / G / C Bb / Am / F / G / C
Rolled up all the twinkle lights, downed the Yuletide cheer
It’s a little late for Christmas this year

V.2:
Santa’s in Miami celebrating Christmas Eve
The elves have started drinking, they’ll turn the lights out when they leave
There's reindeer on the roof outside, I guess they didn’t hear
It’s a little late for Christmas this year

BRIDGE: C / G
F / G / Em / Am / F / G
And you’re so far away
Everything is cold and grey
And it’s just another day

V.3:
All the joy that’s in the world has scattered now and gone
The registers have stopped ringing, the wise men have moved on
So it’s a Swanson’s frozen dinner and a Pabst Blue Ribbon beer
It's a little late for Christmas this year Am

And I’ll think back on happy times before they disappear
It’s a little late for Christmas
It’s a little late for Christmas
It’s a little late for Christmas this year
