CHRISTmas

[Verse 1]
G                       D       Em
I think we got a little carried away
C                           D
We lost our meaning of our special day
G                              D           Em
Somewhere between the pretty presents and lights
C        Em                C
We took the holy out of holy night
 
[Verse 2]
G                     D             Am
There ain't nothing wrong with caroling
             G            C
And getting gifts under a tree
                         C               Em
But if we don't keep the main thing, the main things
                       D
We lose the reason we sing
 
[Chorus]
                         G          D
Let's put Christ back in Christmas
               Em                                C
Let's put the King of the world in His rightful place
                         G         D    Em
Let's put Christ back in Christmas
         Em                            C
Let the gifts be reminders of what He gave
                       Em
And the lights that we see
  Em            C
Remind you and me
                     Am                  Em
Of the light of the world, we hung on a tree
                         C
I don't wanna forget this
                               G
Let's put Christ back in Christmas
 
[Verse 3]
G
I think we might've missed the mark this time
Em                        C
Forgot the reason why the season's bright
G                                  D    Em
Two thousand years ago He gave His life
C                       G      Am
To spend eternity with you and I
                         D             Em
Now there ain't nothing wrong with caroling
C                 G        Am
Or getting gifts under a tree
 
[Pre-chorus]
                         C               Em
But if we don't keep the main thing, the main things
                       D
We lose the reason we sing
 
[Chorus]
                         G          D
Let's put Christ back in Christmas
               Em                                C
Let's put the King of the world in His rightful place
                         G         D    Em
Let's put Christ back in Christmas
         Em                            C
Let the gifts be reminders of what He gave
                       Em
And the lights that we see
  Em            C
Remind you and me
                     Am                  Em
Of the light of the world, we hung on a tree
                         C
I don't wanna forget this
                               G
Let's put Christ back in Christmas
 
[Bridge]
 
Hark, the herald angels sing
Em             C      G
Glory to the newborn King
                     Em    C
Peace on earth, and mercy mild
G        Am             D
God and sinners reconciled
 
[Outro]
                       Em
And the lights that we see
  Em            C
Remind you and me
                     Am                  Em
Of the light of the world, we hung on a tree
                         C
I don't wanna forget this
                               G
Let's put Christ back in Christmas
