Intro
G# C# A#m D#
[Verse]
G# C#
I've made this same mistake before
A#m G#
too many malls, too many stores.
C#
December traffic, Christmas rush
A#m C# G#
it breaks me till I push and shove.
G# D# C# G#
Children are crying while mothers are trying
A#m D#
to photograph Santa and sleigh.
G# D# C# G# C#
Shopping and buying and standing forever in line-
D#
what can I say?
[Chorus]
G# C# D# G# D#
I need a silent night, a holy night
C# G# A#m D#
to hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise.
G# C# D# G# D#
I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here
C# A#m G#
to end this crazy day with a silent night.
[Verse]
G# C#
December comes then disappears
A#m G#
faster and faster every year.
C#
Did my own mother keep this pace
A#m C# G#
or was the world a different place?
G# D# C# G#
Where people stayed home, wishing for snow
A#m D#
watching three channels on their TVs.
G# D# C# G#
Look at us now, rushing around
C#
trying to buy Christmas peace.
[Chorus]
G# C# D# G# D#
I need a silent night, a holy night
C# G# A#m D#
to hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise.
G# C# D# G# D#
I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here
C# A#m D# G#
to end this crazy day with a silent night.

What was it like back there in Bethlehem?
A#m Fm
With peace on earth
A#m C#
Good will toward men
[Chorus]
G# C# D# G# D#
I need a silent night, a holy night
C# G# A#m D#
to hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise.
G# C# D# G# D#
I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here

to end this crazy day with a silent night.

To end this crazy day with a silent night.
