Every Year Every Christmas by Luther Vandross
Every Year Every Christmas
Tuning: Standard
Verse 1:
A F#m
I don't know how love
Dmaj7 E
could do this to me
A F#m
I've waited and waited for some
Dmaj7 E
one I never seen
Chorus:
F#sus C# F#m
But I'm so sentimental and I'm so hopeful you'll be here
D E A
So here I am every year, every Christmas
(yeah)
Verse 2:
A F#m
I've wished for you in my
Dmaj7 E
heart and in my head
A F#M
And I got my answer that first
Dmaj7 E
moment that we met
Chorus:
F#sus C#m F#m
And, oh yes, I believed you as you told me, as you said
D E A
You'd be here every year, every Christmas
Bridge:
Dmaj7 Dmin7
There must be a lesson for me to learn
A C#min7
If you don't trust in love, you'll get nothing in return
Dmaj7 Dmin7
Why should I be lonely? Don't tell me it's fine
B D E
I have my pride, but I'd rather be with you tonight
Just repeat the chords of verse 2 + chorus + the bridge and an extra verse + chorus
So much emotion, it's driving me mad (yeah, yeah)
But I'll take my chances with these feelings that I have
And I'll come back to this same corner where we met
And I'll be here every year, every Christmas
Mere words can't explain the pain and the fear
'Cause I wonder, yes I wonder are you gonna leave me standing here?
Today's almost over but I don't wanna leave
Has my heart made a fool out of me? (ohhh)
My friends gather 'round me with holiday cheer (yeah)
They say to forget you, to let you go 'cause you're not here
Well, I can't keep explaining what they'll never understand
And why I'm here every year, every Christmas
I return every year, every Christmas
I come here every year, every Christmas
