What's this? What's this?
                    B
There's color every where.

What's this?
                            C
There's white things in the air

What's this?
                  Em
I can't believe my eyes
          Cmaj7
I must be dreaming
         Em               B
Wake up, Jack, this isn't fair
G      C
What's this?
           
What's this? What's this?
                       B
There's something very wrong

What's this?
                       C
There's people singing songs

What's this?
      
The streets are lined with

Em               Cmaj7            
Little creatures laughing
     Em            B
Everybody seems so happy
       Em            G7
Have I possibly gone daffy?
        F#
What is this?
G7     C  
What's this?
          Am
There are children throwing snowballs here 
    Em
Instead of throwing heads
        Am                    
They're busy building toys
        Em
And absolutely no one's dead
        Gm
There's frost on every window
    Bbm
Oh, I can't believe my eyes
    A                  
And in my bones I feel the warmth

       C#m         A (May sound strange, but trust me.)
That's coming from inside

(MAJOR KEY CHANGE)
  
A7  D
Oh, look

What's this?
                      C#                         
They're hanging mistletoe, they kiss
                   D
Why that looks so unique, inspired!
                   F#              Dmaj7
They're gathering around to hear a story
         F#m6           C#
Roasting chestnuts on a fire
A7     D
What's this?

What's this?
                             C#
In here they've got a little tree, how queer
                   D
And who would ever think

And why?
                         F#m
They're covering it with tiny
       Dmaj7              F#m                C#
little things They've got electric lights on strings
              F#m           A7
And there's a smile on everyone
            D              
So, now, correct me if I'm wrong
           A    D
This looks like fun
                F#                    
This looks like fun
             Bm            Bb
Oh, could it be I got my wish?
A7       D
What's this?

Oh my, what now?
                 C#
The children are asleep
                               D
But look, there's nothing underneath
                              F#m                       
No ghouls, no witches here to scream and scare them
Dmaj7            F#m         C#
Or ensnare them, only little cozy things
  F#m               F#m6
Secure inside their dreamland

(Rest & Sigh)
A7      D
What's this?
       Bm            
The monsters are all missing
        F#m
And the nightmares can't be found
                        
And in their place there seems to be
     F#m
Good feeling all around
   Am             
Instead of screams, I swear 
           Cm
I can hear music in the air
    B      
The smell of cakes and pies
       Ebm          Bb
Is absolutely everywhere
     Eb
The sights, the sounds
                       D
They're everywhere and all around
                   Eb
I've never felt so good before
                   Gm          Ebmaj7
This empty place inside of me is filling up
  Gm6           D
I simply cannot get enough
  Gm             Bb7       
I want it, oh, I want it
      A          
Oh, I want it for my own
            Eb
I've got to know
            G7
I've got to know
             Cm                B
What is this place that I have found?
      Ebm    B    C
(Big) WHAT   IS   THIS?!
