I couldn t find the chords for this song anywhere so I did it by ear. Its not
exactly how Sufjan plays it because he plays it on a banjo, but it works if you
just want to sing along to it. It s very simple.
Standard Tuning
This time of year
you always disappear
You tell me not to call
You tell me not to call
And when the door is closed
you re wearing different clothes
Or hiding in the paper,
pretending not to hear
Inexpensive wine
I buy it all the time
You tell me take it back
You say you ll take a nap
But I can see it now
You always tell me how
I could do so much better
You said it in your letter
Did I make you cry
On Christmas day?
Did I let you down
Like every other day?
Did I make you cry
On Christmas day?
Did I let you down
On Christmas day?
The bed that isn t made
The broken window shade
The radiator s on
I loved you along
But I can see it now
You always tell me how
I could do so much better
You said it in your letter
I stay awake at night
After we have a fight
I m writing poems about you
And they aren t very nice
I didn t mean to yell
I said I couldn t tell
I only grabbed your wrist
Or would you rather we kissed?
Did I make you cry
On Christmas day?
Did I make you cry
Like every other day?
Did I make you cry
On Christmas day?
Did I make you cry?
