Intro
Bm D G A


D                   G          D
You're talkin' bout leavin'

                 G             D
It's right about Christmastime

              G                D
Thinkin' bout movin' on

                G       A
I think I might die inside

Bm                G              Bm
I'm thinkin' bout years gone by

                 G                  Bm
I'm thinkn' bout church at midnight

                  G             Bm
I'm thinkin' bout letting go

                 G             A
I think it might finally be alright

                        D
but this is where we shine


D                     G
Silver bells and open fires

                         D
And songs we used to sing

                         G
One more chance to be inspired


Is what I'm offering

    Am            Em
If love is not enough

          A                   A7
Then stay with me because


                        Bm   G   D   G   D
The heartache can wait


D              G            D
It's not about hanging on

               G             D
It's makin' my deal with God

               G                D
If I could call one last truce

               G           A
We've given it all we've got

Bm            G            Bm
And I'm gonna catch my breath

              G             Bm
And make it a long December

             G              Bm
If we've got nothing left

              G        (A)
This could be worth remembering

       A             D
With a smile upon my face

D                     G
Silver bells and open fires

                         D
And songs we used to sing

                              G
One more chance to be inspired


Is what I'm offering

    Am            Em
If love is not enough


      A                   A7
Then stay with me because

D                           G
Silver bells and open fires

                         D
And songs we used to sing

                               G
One more chance to be inspired


Is what I'm offering

    Am            Em
If love is not enough

          A                A7
Then stay with me because

                          Bm
The heartache can wait

Outro
Bm D G A D
