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

to hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise.
D# G# A# D# A#
I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here
G# Fm A# D#
to end this crazy day with a silent night.

With peace on earth

Good will toward men
[Chorus]
D# G# A# D# A#
I need a silent night, a holy night

to hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise.
