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