[Verse 1] [M] Santa slips down chimneys With sugar and gold [F] But there’s one in the frost With a list of the cold [M] He don’t bring no ribbons No cookies, no cheer [F] He brings back the truth They buried all year [Pre-Chorus] [M] Hear the bells start shaking [F] Hear the house go still [M] If you hid that nightmare [F] Now it knows your will [Chorus] [M+F] He knows your name He knows your name [F] And the dark stays bright [M] On Christmas night [M+F] He knows your name He knows your name [F] You can’t out-run [M] What you done [Verse 2] [M] To the cruel and the wicked To the smiling and sly [F] To the ones who kept secrets And never said why [M] He leaves the cold faces The screams in the hall [F] The one thing you feared Come back in the walls [Pre-Chorus] [M] Hear the bells start shaking [F] Hear the floorboards hum [M] Every lie you fed them [F] Now returns as drums [Chorus] [M+F] He knows your name He knows your name [F] And the dark stays bright [M] On Christmas night [M+F] He knows your name He knows your name [F] You can’t out-run [M] What you done [Bridge] [M] No gold for the greedy [F] No peace for the proud [M] Just the weight of the damage [F] Echoing loud [M] Screams in the wallpaper [F] Knocks in the glass [M+F] Every hurt you gave [F] Comes back at last [Chorus] [M+F] He knows your name He knows your name [F] And the dark stays bright [M] On Christmas night [M+F] He knows your name He knows your name [F] You can’t out-run [M] What you done [Outro] [F] Sleigh bells fade [M] But the shadow stays [F] Gifts of grief [M] For your remaining days [M+F] He knows your name He knows your name [F] Merry, merry dread [M] To the debt you fed
