[Em][F][E]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Deep in December,
the [Em]year has grown old
The [F]days have grown dark and
[Am]the nights have [E]turned cold
And [Am]the hurts that we harbor,
the [Em]debts that we owe
[F]Are sleeping down under [E]a blanket
of snow
[Am][Asus2][Am][G][F]

[Verse 2]
[E]
It [A]covers [Am]the grasses,
the [Em]bench in [G]the park
[F]The scars in the earth where
[E]man's made his mark
And [A]high in [Am]the sky there's
[G]an unearthly glow
Like a [F]miracle sent to de[E]light us below

[Verse 3]
And [F]all [C]our cares seem imma[G]terial
[F]Be neath [C]a light so eth[G]ereal
As if [F]all our [C]wrongs could [G]be made right
[Dm]Oh darling, un[E]der the northern light
[Am]s[Asus2][Am]
[G][F]

[Verse 4]
[E]
[A]We wound and we're wounded
[Am]by the tinie[G]st acts
We [F]run from our ghosts
and we [E]cover our tracks
And we [A]try [Asus2]to make up f[Am]or mist[G]akes
that we've made
[F]With presents and parties and
[E]Christmas parades
[A][G][F]

[Verse 5]
[E]
But I'm [Am]tired of the running,
I'm [G]taking my leave
[Em]And the fire[F]'s burning low on
this [E]cold Christmas Eve
[Am]All that I[Asus2] have is[Am]
this evening to [G]spend
[F]All that I want is [E]to hold you again

[Verse 6]
To [F]linger [C]awhile in the [G]mystery
[F]To know [C]the gift that's [G]been given me
Just [F]to lie be[C]side you
this Christ[G]mas night
[Dm]Oh darling, un[E]der th[Am]e[G][F]
[E][A][G][F][E]
[Dm]nort[E]hern lights[Am][Asus2]
