It's not my fault, it wasn't up to you

Christmas eve comes once a year and that will never do
     C             Am
Your image started fading
  G         Bm      Cmaj7/A
I closed my eyes to see*
C
Tell me do you close your eyes for me?

Now your door seems half a world away

The price of gasoline is more than I can pay
C                   Am        G       Bm   Cmaj7/A
Plus I don't have a car I can call my very own

I guess I'll spend another night alone

C          D             Em7
If I could say I’m sorry
C           D            Em7
Who would I say it to?
C        D             C                 D                 G    Em
Besides apologies mean less than dirt to folks like me and you

  You know it's true
G        F       G
Should I say too bad

Or so what?

What's appropriate?

Should I show it?

Back at my house there's nothing on TV

The bathroom mirror casts confusing looks from me to me
  C                  Am
I watched you from a distance
         G      Bm       Cmaj7/A
For too briefly held you close
  C
I guess that's just the way this story goes

Notes:
I play the Cmaj7/A like this:
e|-3-
B|-5-
G|-4-
D|-5-
A|-0-
E|-x-
This chord is my best guess of what to play here, but if that's too tricky,
a Cmaj7 or even an Am would sound fine too :)
