VERSE 1:
                  A5
The churchyard is frozen
    D5               G5
The Salvation Army is closin'
              D5       A5
Your child is dozin' asleep
D5         A5
In the backseat
    D5    A5
The radio purrs
    D5        A5                D5             A5    E5
The heater is sweeter than when your heart was hers
         A5
Going home

VERSE 2:
              A5
I can't get sleep
D5                       G5
Bethlehem is a flock of sheep
        D5          A5
With no shepherd to cling to
   D5       A5
An angel to sing to
D5      A5        E5
Magi to bring you myrrh
          A5
The radio purrs

VERSE 3:
             A5
A mansion of saviors
D5                    G5
I-75 is a dark roadway lined
     G5                 G5     G5
With the wild electricity of the
  D5      A5
Animal behaviors
    D5        A5
The bodies of young deer
    D5        A5
The fam'ly it leads to
    D5        A5           E5
The sacrifice needs to not mar
                  A5
The bright beacon star

           A5
No vacancy taken
    D5                                      G5
The landscape is bone-chalk yet wet with vibrations
         D5           A5
From the lamp-lit gas stations
    D5          A5
Our few constellations
   D5             A5      E5
To course lapping anger onto
            A5
A manger of patience

VERSE 5:
                A5
I'll see you at morning
    D5         G5
The sterile air coming
         D5             A5
From the yard will come white light
    D5        A5
The memory of last night
    D5           A5           E5
The sickness and thickness of the
               A5
Christmas glow swarming
