Chords for Craig Aven - The Sweetest Gift - Original version

[F#] _ _ _ _ _ [A#m] _ Well, Merry Christmas [C#] everybody.
[F#] I wanted to do a song that I wrote
_ [C#] For those of you who are [B] grieving the loss of a loved [C#] one here this holiday season
[B] You're missing them deeply and [F#] _ _ I pray that in the [G#m] midst of your pain even now
[A#] This song would [F#] bring you comfort because it was written with you in _ mind
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ [B] _
[C#] _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ not gonna _ lie
[D#m] Christmas really hurts this time
Cuz [B] you're not here [C#] to celebrate [F#]
with me
_ _ _ [B] _ [C#] _ _
[F#] tears fill my _ [C#] eyes [D#m] and
Memories flood my mind [F#] as I place your ornament _ [D#m] upon [C#] our tree
_ _ Although _
[A#m] _ this year I have a [B] broken heart
_ _ It [F#] _ _
[G#m] gives me [A#m] hope and joy as I
[F#] Remember [C#] where you are
You're with [F#] the Son of [A#m] God _
You're [B] with the Prince of _ Peace
[F#]
You're with the [G#m] one we're _ [A#m] celebrating _
[F#] And that thought _ amazes [C#] me
[F#] Sometimes I still break down _
[G#] _ Grieving [B] that we're apart _
_ [F#] But [G#m] the sweetest gift [F#] is knowing where you [B] _ are
[C#] Cuz you're with the Son of [F#] _ _
God
[B] Got _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ your picture in [C#] the _ _ [D#m] frame
The stocking with your [C#] name.
[F#] Oh God knows [C#] it's been hard
letting [F#] go
_ _ [B] I _ _ [F#] _
can't bring you back
[C#] _
[D#m] But I'll see you again
[C#] _
[F#] And [B] all that thought is [D#m] healing to [B] my _ _ [C#] soul
_ [G#m] [A#m] And I'll miss making angels with you in [B] the snow
[F#] _ _ I [G#m] guess instead you will be [A#m] singing with [B] them all _ [Bm] around _ _
_ [G#m] Oh
[D#] Cuz you're [F#] with the Son of God
_ You're with [B] the Prince of [F#] _ _ Peace
You're [G#m] with the one we're _ _ [A#m] celebrating
[F#] And [B] that thought amazes [C#] me [B] and sometimes [F#] I still break _ down
Grieving [B] that we're apart
_ [F#] _ _ [G#m] But the sweetest gift is [F#] knowing where [B] you are
_ _ _ [C#] You're with the [F#] Son of _ God
_ And _ I know how much [B] this season was [C#] your favorite time of [D#m] year
You [F#] _ love to [B] help us decorate [C#] the tree
_ _ _ But _
[F#] now that you're [B] with Jesus can't [A#] imagine [D] how you [D#m] _ feel
Cuz [C#] he's the one who bled and died upon [B] the tree for you and me
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] You're with the Son of God
_ _ You're [B] with the Prince of _ Peace
[F#] You're with the [C#] one we're _ [A#m] celebrating _
[F#] And that thought _ [B] amazes me sometimes [F#] I still break down _ _
Grieving that [B] we're apart _ _
[F#] But the [G#m] _ sweetest gift [F#] is knowing where _ [B] you _ are _
[F#] Yes, the [G#m] sweetest gift [F#] is knowing where _ [B] you _ _ are
[C#] The [G#m] _ sweetest gift is [F#] knowing you're in [B] his arm _
_ [D#] _ You're with [C#] the _ Son of [F#] God _ _ _
[B] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
