Verse 1:

N.C.                          G7
The angels all have vanished.
    C               G
The stars above all hide.
        C         C7
And the verity of centuries
   F           F7
of crosses and Christmas trees,
  C              G C    Csus4  C
I realize long ago died.

Verse 2:

    C          G7       C
But still this night is different.
   Em/G                       G
It shimmers in a most unusual way,
      C                   C7
as if something more than catalogs,
F                  F7         C/G     G      C   Csus4  C
ribbons, cards, or carolers begins to softly say:


Chorus:

C         Caug    Gadd9  F
Sell your soul to no     one.
     Am       G7             F
Give all your hopes away for free.
    E7         Fmaj7   Cmaj7   G7/D       Dm7   D7
And don't look back on all the things you never had,
   C             G       C
tonight you have all you need.


Verse 3:

    C        G7       C
You say your way's forgotten,

    Em/G                G
and each day lived is a grave.
    C                   C7
And though you found no Bethlehem,
     F                   F7
just scattered Myrrh and Frankincense,
C/G       G         C    Csus4  C
something still was saved.


Chorus:


C         Caug    Gadd9  F
Sell your soul to no     one.
Am            G7             F
Give all your hopes away for free.
    E7         Fmaj7   Cmaj7   G7/D       Dm7   D7
And don't look back on all the things you never had,
   C             G       C
tonight you have all you need.
   C             G       C
Tonight you have all you need.
