verse 1
Am A2 A2/G
Deep in De - cember, the year has grown old,
E7M E
The days have grown dark, and the nights have turned cold,
Am A2 A2/G
And the hurts that we harbour, the debts that we owe,
E7M E
Are sleeping down under a blanket of snow!

verse 2
Am A2 A2/G
It covers the grasses, the bench in the park,
E7M E
The scars in the earth where man's made his mark,
Am A2 A2/G
And high in the sky there's an unearthly glow,
E7M E
Like a miracle sent to de - light us be - low!
verse 3

And all our cares seem imma - terial,
F C G C/G G
Be - neath a light so e - thereal,
F C G C/G G
As if all our wrongs could be made right,

Am A2 A2/G
We wound, and we're wounded, by the tiniest acts,
E7M E
We run from our ghosts, and we cover our tracks,
Am A2 A2/G
And we try to make up for mis - takes that we've made,
E7M E
With presents, and parties, and Christmas pa - rades!

But I'm tired of the running, I?m taking my leave,

All that I have is this evening to spend,

And all that I want is to hold you a - gain!

To know the gift that has been given me,

Just to lie be - side you, this Christmas--- night,
