D              G
Christmas time
        A       D                G
in the busyness around that time,
            A             D
I could not lift my head enough to see
    G         A      D        G A
the face that I wanted to see.
D                 G
Through the door
           A       D               G
where the packages lie on the floor,
     A                 D
evergreen and incense in the air,
      G      A      D           G A
there was a year i didn't care.

[Chorus]
     Em                      A
With my voice I sang this before,
                  D                    Bm
that grace would come and sorrow be no more
 Em                            A
With my ears I've heard this before,
                 D                     Bm
that grace would come and sorrow be no more.
         Em                 A
With my knees I bend to the floor.


[Solo]

[Verse 2]
D         G
Christmas day,
          A              D               G
in the stillness that protects this day,
              A                   D         G
the string of lights was strung into a tree,
             A                    D
a string of lights was strung inside of me,
   G      A        D
I felt at peace and fell asleep.
  G      A
I felt at peace
     D
and slept.
