"Santa Tell Me"
- Ariana Grande
Please take note that the last chorus is done a capella in the original song.
[Intro-Chorus]
[G] [Cmaj7]
Santa, tell me if you're really there
[Em7] [D7]
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here
Next year
[G] [Cmaj7]
Santa, tell me if he really cares
[Em7] [D7]
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here
Next year
Verse 1
[G] [Gmaj7]
Feeling Christmas all around
[G7]
And I'm tryna' play it cool
[Cmaj7] [Cm6] [G]
But it's hard to focus when I see him walking 'cross the room
[Gmaj7]
"Let It Snow" is blasting out
[G7]
But I won't get in the mood
[Cmaj7] [Cm6]
I'm avoiding every mistletoe until I know
[G] [Am7] [G/B] [Cmaj7]
It's true love that he thinks of
[Bm7] [Cmaj7]
So next Christmas
[D7]
I'm not all alone, boy
Chorus
[G] [Cmaj7]
Santa, tell me if you're really there
[Em7] [D7]
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here
Next year
[G] [Cmaj7]
Santa, tell me if he really cares
[Em7] [D7]
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here
Next year
Verse 2
[G] [Gmaj7]
I've been down this road before
[G7]
Fell in love on Christmas night
[Cmaj7] [Cm6] [G]
But on New Year's Day I woke up and he wasn't by my side
[Gmaj7]
Now I need someone to hold
[G7]
Be my fire in the cold
[Cmaj7] [Cm6]
But it's hard to tell if this is just a fling
[G] [Am7] [G/B] [Cmaj7]
Or if it's true love that he thinks of
[Bm7] [Cmaj7]
So next Christmas
[D7]
I'm not all alone, boy
Chorus
[G] [Cmaj7]
Santa, tell me if you're really there
[Em7] [D7]
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here
Next year
[G] [Cmaj7]
Santa, tell me if he really cares
[Em7] [D7]
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here
Next year
[Bridge*]
[Em7] [D] [Cmaj7] [D] [Em7] [D]
Oh, I wanna have him beside me like oh-oh-oh
[Cmaj7] [D] [Em7] [D#aug]
On the 25th by the fireplace, oh-oh-oh
[G/D] [A/C#]
But I don't want a new broken heart
[Cmaj7] [D7]
This year I've got to be smart
Chorus
[G] [Cmaj7]
Oh, baby (Santa tell me, Santa tell me)
[Em7] [D7]
If ya won't be, if ya won't be here!
[G] [Cmaj7]
Santa, tell me if you're really there
[Em7] [D7]
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here
Next year
[G] [Cmaj7]
Santa, tell me if he really cares
[Em7] [D7]
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here
Next year
(Repeat optional: a capella)

Footnotes:
*For the bridge part around: "But I don't want..." It basically descends half-steps
from [Em] to [C] so the bass goes [E] [D#] [D] [C#] [C]
