[Verse 1]
Am Asus2 Asus2/G
Deep in De - cember, the year has grown old,
Fmaj7#11 E7+ E
The days have grown dark, and the nights have turned cold,
Am Asus2 Asus2/G
And the hurts that we harbour, the debts that we owe,
Fmaj7#11 E7+ E
Are sleeping down under a blanket of snow!

It covers the grasses, the bench in the park,
Fmaj7#11 E7+ E
The scars in the earth where man's made his mark,
Am Asus2 Asus2/G
And high in the sky there's an unearthly glow,
Fmaj7#11 E7+ E
Like a miracle sent to de - light us be - low!
[Verse 3]

And all our cares seem imma - terial,

We wound, and we're wounded, by the tiniest acts,
Fmaj7#11 E7+ E
We run from our ghosts, and we cover our tracks,
Am Asus2 Asus2/G
And we try to make up for mis - takes that we've made,
Fmaj7#11 E7+ E
With presents, and parties, and Christmas pa - rades!

But I'm tired of the running, I’m taking my leave,
Fmaj7#11 E7+ E
And the fire's burning low, on this cold Christmas Eve,
Am Asus2 Asus2/G
All that I have is this evening to spend,
Fmaj7#11 E7+ E
And all that I want is to hold you a - gain!
[Verse 6]
F C G C/G G
To linger a while ...in the mystery,

To know the gift that has been given me,
