INTRO: F C Em Am F G
F C Em
If you're gonna get your heart broke, you better do it just right
Am F G
It's gotta be raining and you gotta move your stuff that night
Am F G
And the only friend you can reach, isn't a good friend at all
Am
And you know when he says, “Now who dumped who?”
F G
That you never should have made that call
F
I had blessings
C G
There's nobody there, there's nobody home
Am
Yeah, the blessings
F G Am
At the moment I was most alone and aimless as a fulltime fool
C G
The joke was on me
Am F G
I got all those birds flying off of that tree
F C Em Am F G
That's a blessing
F C Em
And the blessings were like poets that we never find time to know
Am F G
But when time stopped, I found the place where the poets go
Am F G
And they said, “Here have some coffee, it's straight black and very old”
Am F G
And they gave me sticks and rocks and stars and all that I could hold
F
I had blessings
C G
A moment of peace even when the night ends
Am
Yeah, blessings
F G Am
Can we meet? Can we meet again at the crossroads of disaster
C G
And the imperfect smile
Am F G
With the angel in the streetlamp that blinks on as I walk on a mile
F C Em Am F G
The blessings
Am F G
And the best ones were the ones I got to keep as I grew strong
Am F G
And the days that opened up until my whole life could belong
F C G
It's like getting the answers, when I don't need them anymore
Am F Em
I'm finding the pictures, and I finally know what I kept them for
Am C G
I remember, I can see them
Am
See them smiling, see them stuck
F G
See them try, I wish them luck
F C Em Am F G
And all the blessings
F C
I was fast asleep at three in the morning, when I got the payphone call
Am F G
And she said, “Did I wake you up”, I said, “Hey, no, not at all”
Am F G
And she said, “I got this suitcase and I don't know what to pack”
Am F G
And I said, “You can take anything you want,
F C G
Just wait and see, it's not a release, it's not a reward
Am
It's the blessings,
F G
It's the gift of what you notice more,”
Am C G
And I walked out and I watched her kick the big pile of the night
Am F G
And we sat down and we waited for that strange and empty light
F C Em
Yeah, the blessings, aah, aah, aah
Am C G
See them smiling, see them stuck, see them try, I wish them luck
F C Em Am
And all the blessings
