Intro:

  B* B/Bb* Cm7*    Cm7  B B B/Bb B*

Verse 1:
B              B/Bb          Cm7
Telling those stories… they never get old
         Cm7          B          B Bsus2 B
But the teller grows older with time
      B          B/Bb         Cm7
‘Til one silent night… those stories grow cold
        Cm7           B           B  Bsus2 B
As the teller leaves this world behind

Pre-Chorus 1:
       C                                 B
But a new tale… will light light up the dark
        C                     B
Like a north star guiding us home
          C                              B
Like the night before Christmas… in the candle light glow
       C                           B*
We’ll make sure those stories get told

Chorus 1:
          B         B/Bb      Cm7  B
Like the tu--urkey bu--urn of ‘93…
    C       B/G      Cm7   B Bsus2 B
We ate… Chine--ese instead
        B            B/Bb         Cm7          B
Or the year we lost granny… so we lit up some candles…
     C    B/G          Cm7
And daddy sang… 'It Is Well'
C                 B/G       Cm7*
Tales told ‘bout those we remember…
                     B  B/Bb  Cm7    Cm7  B  B/Bb
Didn’t make it to December

Verse 3:
B         B/Bb           Cm7
Family traditions… they come in all kinds
         Cm7      B        B Bsus2 B
Like an angel up top of a tree
     B          B/Bb            Cm7
But some of the best ones… that I’ve come to find
        Cm7           B               B Bsus2 B
Are the ones you can hear… but can’t see

Pre-Chorus 2:
       C                     B
But if I close my eyes real tight
        C                      B Bsus2 B
It’s a pretty clear picture to me

Chorus 2:
           B         B/Bb      Cm7               B
Like when mamaw and papaw got snowed in and the power
      C      B/G      Cm7  B Bsus2 B
Went out on Christmas eve
       B              B/Bb            Cm7        B
So he rigged up some cables… to that pickup truck
               C            B/G          Cm7
So they could have one light up on that tree
       C               B/G        Cm7
Yeah, tales told ‘bout those we remember…
        B           Cm7
Didn’t make it to December

Bridge:
 B/Bb    B             C
And the best one I’ve heard yet…
Cm  B            B           C*
 Ooh, that I’ll pass down to my kids

Outro:
            B*     B/Bb*   Cm7*   B*
Is about a manger… down in Bethlehem…
       C*       B/G*      Cm7* B Bsus2 B
Where God’s son laid his head
         B       B/Bb  Cm7  B
And how God made him a sacrifice…
     C         B/G   Cm7
That we can’t comprehend
           C             B/G           Cm7
Now we’re washed in the blood… like a river
    C*           B/G*      Cm7*
And He holds the ones we remember…
B*                        B*
  Didn’t make it to…   December
