INTRO: G C Am D VERSE 1: G C I've made this same mistake before Am G too many malls, too many stores. C December traffic, Christmas rush Am C G it breaks me till I push and shove. G D C G Children are crying while mothers are trying Am D to photograph Santa and sleigh. G D C G C Shopping and buying and standing forever in line- what can I say? G C D G D I need a silent night, a holy night C G Am 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 Am D G to end this crazy day with a silent night. VERSE 2: G C December comes then disappears Am G faster and faster every year. C Did my own mother keep this pace Am C G or was the world a different place? G D C G Where people stayed home, wishing for snow Am D watching three channels on their TVs. G D C G Look at us now, rushing around C D trying to buy Christmas peace. G C D G D I need a silent night, a holy night C G Am 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 Am D G to end this crazy day with a silent night. BRIDGE: Am G C D What was it like back there in Bethlehem? Am Em With peace on earth Am C Good will toward men G C D G D I need a silent night, a holy night C G Am 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 Am D G to end this crazy day with a silent night. C Am D G To end this crazy day with a silent night.
