[Verse]
C# F#
The branches have traded their leaves for white sleeves
C# F#
All warm blooded creatures make ghosts as they breathe
C# F#
Scarves are wrapped tightly like gifts under trees
C# Am# F#
Christmas lights tangle in knots annually
F# Am# C#
All families huddle closely, betting warmth against the cold
F# G#
All the bruises seem to surface, like mud beneath the snow
C# F#
So we sing carols softly, as sweet as we know
C# F#
A prayer that our burdens will lift as we go
C# Am# F# C#
Like young love still waiting under mistletoe
C# Am# F# C#
We'll welcome December with tireless hope
[Chorus]
F# Am# C#
Let our bells keep on ringing, making angels in the snow
F# Am# G#
And may the melody disarm us, when the cracks begin to show
F# Am# C#
Like the petals in our pockets, may we remember who we are
F# G#
Unconditionally cared for by those who share our broken hearts
[Verse]
C# F#
The table is set and all glasses are full
C# F#
Though pieces go missing, may we still feel whole
Am# G# F# C# C#
We'll build new traditions in place of the old
Am# G# F# C#
'Cause life without revision will silence our souls
[Chorus]
F# Am# C#
Let the bells keep on ringing, making angels in the snow
F# Am# G#
And may the melody surround us, when the cracks begin to show
F# Am# C#
Like the petals in our pockets, may we remember who we are
F# G#
Unconditionally cared for by those who share our broken hearts
[Verse]
C# F#
As gentle as feathers, the snow piles high
C# F#
Our world gets rewritten and retraced every time
C# Am# F# C#
Like fresh plates and clean slates, our future is white
Am# G# F# C#
New Years resolutions will reset tonight
C# F#
The branches have traded their leaves for white sleeves
