[Verse 1]
G       C       D        G      G      C  D          G
Looking back at old photographs. I see me living the dream.
G     C                D           G     G     C      G
I was young with not a care in the world. Then I grew up.
 
[Chorus]
     Em       C    G      D             Em             C      G
I am doing my best not to remember what Christmas once was to me.
        Em            C                G        D
All the lights on the tree and all the presents beneath
          Em        C       G             D
remind me of how it used to be. Of how it used to be.

[Verse 2]
G       C       D        G      G      C  D          G
I’m not a kid anymore. The weight of the world on my shoulders.
G     C                D           G     G     C      G
I don’t find joy in the season like I used to.
 
[Chorus]
     Em       C    G      D             Em             C      G
I am doing my best not to remember what Christmas once was to me.
    Em            C                G        D
All snow on the ground and singing people around
          Em        C       G             D
Remind me of how it used to be. Of how it used to be.

G       C       D        G      G      C  D          G
December 25th. It comes year after year.
G     C                D           G     G     C      G
I could change or stay the same. Why does it really matter?
 
[Chorus]
     Em       C    G      D             Em             C      G
I am doing my best not to remember what Christmas once was to me.
    Em           C           G           D
All gift giving magic brings joy that is matchless.
   Em         C          G
Is this how I want it to be?
 
[Chorus]
    Em       C     G       D             Em             C      G
I’m going to do my best to remember what Christmas once was to me.
        Em            C                G        D
All the lights on the tree and all the presents beneath
          Em       C          G          D
Remind me of how I want it to be. (How I want it to be.)
