  Dm
A devil in a midnight mass,
He prayed behind stained glass
A memory of Sunday class
Resurrected from the past

A#                    A            Dm
Hold your breath and count to four
A#                  A           Dm
Pinky swears don't work no more
A#                  A
Footsteps down the hallway floor
Dm              F
Getting closer to my door
   A#            A
I was alive but now I'm singing

Chorus:
Dm
Silent night for
the rest of my life
 F
Silent night for
the rest of my life
Gm
Silent night at the
edge of your knife
 A#
(Forgive me father)
       A
Won't make it right
Dm
Silent night for
the rest of my life
 F
Silent night at the
edge of your knife
        Gm     F Em C A#
(You're guilty!)

A devil in a midnight mass
Killed the boy inside the man
The holy water in his hands
Can never wash away his sins

Hold your breath and count to four
Pinky swears don’t work no more
Put my trust in God that day
Not the man that taught his way
I was alive, but now I’m singing…

Chorus

Dm
Whisper whisper
don't make a sound
Your bed is made and
it's in the ground

Whisper, whisper, don’t make a sound!
Your bed is made, it’s in the ground
Whisper, whisper, don’t make a sound!
Your bed is made, it’s in the ground!
Whisper, whisper, don’t make a sound!
Your bed is made, it’s in the ground!
Whisper, whisper, don’t make a sound!
Your bed is made and it’s in the ground!
