verse 1
 A minorAm      Asus2Asus2   Asus2/G
Deep in De - cember, the year has grown old,
  FMaj7#11Fmaj7#11            E7E7+        E MajorE
The days have grown dark, and the nights have turned cold,
     A minorAm      Asus2Asus2    Asus2/G
And the hurts that we harbour, the debts that we owe,
  FMaj7#11Fmaj7#11        E7E7+    E MajorE
Are sleeping down under a blanket of snow!

verse 2
   A minorAm    Asus2Asus2    Asus2/G
It covers the grasses, the bench in the park,
  FMaj7#11Fmaj7#11         E7E7+       E MajorE
The scars in the earth where man's made his mark,
   A minorAm    Asus2Asus2      Asus2/G
And high in the sky there's an unearthly glow,
   FMaj7#11Fmaj7#11        E7E7+      E MajorE
Like a miracle sent to de - light us be - low!


verse 3
   FF     C majorC        G+G   C/GC/G G+G
And all our cares seem imma - terial,
   FF    C majorC       G+G   C/GC/G G+G
Be - neath a light so e - thereal,
    FF    C majorC           G+G   C/GC/G G+G *
As if all our wrongs could be made right,
    Dm7Dm7  Dm7/C  E7E7         A minorAm   Asus2Asus2
Oh--------, darling, under the Northern Lights---------!

verse 4
  A minorAm       Asus2Asus2      Asus2/G
We wound, and we're wounded, by the tiniest acts,
  FMaj7#11Fmaj7#11           E7E7+    E MajorE
We run from our ghosts, and we cover our tracks,
    A minorAm     Asus2Asus2    Asus2/G
And we try to make up for mis - takes that we've made,
   FMaj7#11Fmaj7#11           E7E7+     E MajorE
With presents, and parties, and Christmas pa - rades!

But I'm tired of the running, I?m taking my leave,
    FMaj7#11Fmaj7#11           E7E7+      E MajorE
And the fire's burning low, on this cold Christmas Eve,
A minorAm     Asus2Asus2    Asus2/G
All that I have is this evening to spend,
