Snow by Sleeping At Last easy version
Capo 6
Standard Tuning
G C
The branches have traded their leaves for white sleeves
G C
All warm blooded creatures make ghosts as they breathe
G C
Scarves are wrapped tightly like gifts under trees
G Em C
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 C
So we sing carols softly, as sweet as we know
G C
A prayer that our burdens will lift as we go
G Em C G
Like young love still waiting under mistletoe
G Em 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 C
The table is set and all glasses are full
G C
Though pieces go missing, may we still feel whole
Em D C G 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 C
As gentle as feathers, the snow piles high
G C
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
