G                          Em
Another year has come and gone,
                           C
And I'm still here holdin' on,
                      D
To this rifle and a picture of my kids,
G                      Em
They're sayin' its a holiday,
                              C
Sure as hell don't feel that way,
                           D
I don't think Jesus meant for it to be like this.

C                    Em      D
  A paper star on a plastic tree
         G                C
Cotton snow in a manger scene
                  Em      D                 G
We do the best we can to make it feel like home.
         C        Em      D
Turkey dinner on paper plates
G                         F
Sargent bows his head to pray
                  C
Boombox playin' silent night
D                           G
Camouflage and Christmas Lights.

G                                Em
There probably up on the hill by now
                         C
Bundled up and sleddin' down
                            D
Catchin' snowflakes on the edge of their tongues
G                              Em
  Standin' up at the top would be
                               C
The prettiest girl I've ever seen
                     D
Whispering a quiet prayer for all of us.

C                     Em     D

F                 C
  Some say I'm a hero
                G
But I'm just a Dad

F                C
Who's trying to protect
           D               G
The most precious thing I have
F                  C
  Someday I'll be home again
D                        G    F
  And our world will be right
     C      D
But for tonight

Thank God it's a silent night
