[VERSE 1]
[C]Thex winter's flaking [F] snowx is brushin' [G] throughx the wiry [C] treesx
I [F] stuffx my hands down [C] deepx inside my [G] coatx
I [F] thinkx of years a[G]gox and half rem[C]emberedx Christmas [F] treesx
And [C] facesx that still [F] warmx me with their [G] glowx
The [C] coldx and empty [F] eveningx hangs ar[G]oundx me like a [C] ghostx
I [F] listenx to my f[C]ootstepsx in the [G] snowx
The [F] soundx of one man [G] walkingx through the [C] snowx can break your [F] heartx
But [C] stoppingx doesn't [F] help,x so on I'll [G] gox

[REFRAIN]
And [F] Christmasx Eve can [Em] killx ya
When you're [F] tryingx to hitch a [G] ridex to anywh[C]erex

[VERSE 2]
[C]Thex icy air I'm br[F]eathin'sx all that [G] keepsx me on my [C] feetx
I [F] feelx like I've been w[C]alkingx all my l[G]ifex
A [F] carx goes runnin' [G] by;x the man don't [C] evenx turn his [F] headx
Guess he's [C] busyx bein' [F] Santax Claus ton[G]ightx
The [C] saddestx part of [F] allx is knowin' [G] ifx I switched with [C] himx
I'd [F] leavex him stumbling [C] raggedx by the [G] roadx
I'd [F] ridex that highway [G] tox the arms of [C] myx sweet fami[F]lyx
And forg[C]etx about the st[F]rangerx in the [G] coldx

[REFRAIN]
And [F] Christmasx Eve can [Em] killx ya
When you're [F] tryin'x to hitch a [G] ridex to anyw[C]herex

[VERSE 3]
And [C] asx I walk I'm s[F]ingingx to myself [G] xxx , Oh Silent [C] xxx   Night
[F]Hopin'x I can [C] savex those other [G] soulsx
Oh, [F] Godx forgive the [G] manx that drives right [C] byx the other [F] manx
Take [C] pityx on the st[F]rangerx in the [G] coldx

[REFRAIN]
Cause [F] Christmasx Eve can [Em] killx ya
When you're [F] tryin'x to hitch a [G] ridex to anyw[C]herex
