[Verse]
     A              Bm7
The snowflakes are coming on down
D                     A
Going around in the air
     A                 Bm7
They go round, blowing into your eyes
   D                       A
And getting stuck in your hair


[Chorus]
                D                    A
You're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
           D                                 A
I think of silly lines to say like "you're a winter's dream"
          Bm                       A
I want to tell you something but I don't
          Bm7                    A
I want to hold you close, but I won't
                D                    A    D       A
You're the most beautiful thing I'll ever leave behind

      A
We're walking
Bm                            D                 A
Away from the sights, to the library by the old oak
       A
You're trembling
             Bm7                   D                     A
You say your hands are cold, so I let them inside of my coat
D                                   A
I'm not sure why you're walking so close to me
  D                 A
I really can't tell what is real


[Chorus]
              Bm7            A
But I want to make you feel alright
          Bm7              A
I want to make you see the light
          Bm                   A
I want to tell you this but I don't
          Bm                    A
I want to stay with you, but I won't
                D                    E    D         A
You're the most beautiful thing I'll ever leave behind


[Outro]
           D          E             A           Bm
And when Joni sings I wish I had a river I understand
           D          E             A           Bm7
And when Joni sings I wish I had a river I understand
           D          E             A           Bm
And when Joni sings I wish I had a river I understand

Bm

        D            E             A
Cause I also made my baby say good-bye
                    D                    A    D      A
And you're the most beautiful thing I'll ever leave behind
