(Intro: Clean acoustic guitar begins with a steady, gentle rhythm. A soft, fingerpicked arpeggio plays the main melody, creating a cozy, intimate atmosphere. The tempo is slightly slower than the original.) (Verse 1) (G)Sleigh bells ring, (C)are you listening? (G)In the lane, (D)snow is glistening. (G)A beautiful sight, (C)we're happy tonight, (G)Walking in a (D)winter wonder-(G)land. (G)The city lights are blurry (C)through the falling white, (D)We put the hectic year away (G)for this quiet, perfect night. (G)I pull my scarf up closer, (C)you pull my hand in yours, (D)Yeah, this kind of simple moment (G)is the only thing that cures. (Pre-Chorus) (C)You ask me if I'm dreaming, (G)I tell you, "Yes, I am," (D)This feeling is the magic (Em)I don't need to understand. (C)We're stealing back the silence (G)from the world that moves too fast, (D)Hoping that this comfort (N.C.) is the memory that will last. (Chorus) (C)Gone away is the bluebird, (G)here to stay is the new bird, (D)He sings a love song (G)as we go along. (C)Walking in a winter (G)wonderland, (D)With you by my side, yeah, (G)it's the best I've ever planned. (Verse 2) (G)In the meadow we can build a (C)snowman, standing tall, (D)Pretending that he's the lonely (G)one who hasn't got it all. (G)We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way, (C)until the night is done, (D)But the truth is, every single moment (G)is better now you've come. (G)Later on, we'll conspire, (C)as we dream by the fire, (D)To face the new year's promise (G)with a purpose built up higher. (Pre-Chorus) (C)You ask me if I'm dreaming, (G)I tell you, "Yes, I am," (D)This feeling is the magic (Em)I don't need to understand. (C)We're stealing back the silence (G)from the world that moves too fast, (D)Hoping that this comfort (N.C.) is the memory that will last. (Chorus) (C)Gone away is the bluebird, (G)here to stay is the new bird, (D)He sings a love song (G)as we go along. (C)Walking in a winter (G)wonderland, (D)With you by my side, yeah, (G)it's the best I've ever planned. (Outro) (The acoustic guitar slows down, the fingerpicking becomes sparse and soft, letting the notes linger.) (G)Winter wonderland... (C)With you by my side... (D)Peace in the air... (G)On this holy tide... (The final chord fades slowly into silence.)
