Snow

    G               D           C                  G
The branches have traded their leaves for white sleeves
    G                D            C               G
All warm blooded creatures make ghosts as they breathe
     G               Em        C          G
Scarves are wrapped tightly like gifts under trees
  Em             D            C        G
Christmas lights tangle in knots annually

      C                               Em                G
All families huddle closely, betting warmth against the cold
          C                        D
All the bruises seem to surface, like mud beneath the snow

      G              D      C             G
So we sing carols softly, as sweet as we know
  G                  D         C          G
A prayer that our burdens will lift as we go
     G               Em        C          G
Like young love still waiting under mistletoe
  Em             D            C        G
We'll welcome December with tireless hope

       C                              Em            G
Let our bells keep on ringing, making angels in the snow
            C                           Em                D
And may the melody disarm us, when the cracks begin to show
         C                              Em               G 
Like the petals in our pockets, may we remember who we are
     C                                D
Unconditionally cared for by those who share our broken hearts

    G         D            C           G
The table is set and all glasses are full
       G            D            C            G
Though pieces go missing, may we still feel whole
     G               Em        C          G
We'll build new traditions in place of the old
Em           D           C                  G
'Cause life without revision will silence our souls

          C                          Em             G           
Let the bells keep on ringing, making angels in the snow
            C                              Em               D
And may the melody surround us, when the cracks begin to show
         C                              Em               G 
Like the petals in our pockets, may we remember who we are
     C                                D
Unconditionally cared for by those who share our broken hearts

   G             D         C           G
As gentle as feathers, the snow piles high
    G            D              C          G
Our world gets rewritten and retraced every time
     G               Em               C           G
Like fresh plates and clean slates, our future is white
    Em       D           C       G
New Years resolutions will reset tonight
