The Blessings

INTRO: F  C  Em  Am   F  G

          F                   
If you're gonna get your heart 
                         C         
broke, you better do it just right
  Em

              Am                   
It's gotta be raining and you gotta
           F          G
 move your stuff that night
        Am                         
And the only friend you can reach, 
        F              G
isn't a good friend at all
        Am
And you know when he says, “Now who 
dumped who?”
         F                         
That you never should have made 
 G
that call


     F
I had blessings
               C                   
There's nobody there, there's 
  G
nobody home
          Am
Yeah, the blessings
       F            G              
At the moment I was most alone and 
Am
aimless as a fulltime fool
     C          G
The joke was on me
      Am                     F    
I got all those birds flying off 
       G
of that tree
         F          C  Em  Am   F  G
That's a blessing


        F                        
And the blessings were like poets 
         C                  Em
that we never find time to know
    Am                             
But when time stopped, I found the 
            F        G
place where the poets go

         Am                   
And they said, “Here have some 
                       F           
coffee, it's straight black and 
   G
very old”
         Am                      
And they gave me sticks and rocks 
               F                G
and stars and all that I could hold


     F
I had blessings
            C                  
A moment of peace even when the 
       G
night ends
      Am
Yeah, blessings
       F            G             
Can we meet? Can we meet again at 
    Am
the crossroads of disaster
        C         G
And the imperfect smile
         Am                     
With the angel in the streetlamp 
             F            G
that blinks on as I walk on a mile
  F           C  Em  Am   F  G
The blessings


        Am                       
And the best ones were the ones I 
        F              G
got to keep as I grew strong
        Am                         
And the days that opened up until 
  F                  G
my whole life could belong
                      F            
It's like getting the answers, when
         C            G
 I don't need them anymore
                Am             
I'm finding the pictures, and I 
         F                     Em
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                           
I was fast asleep at three in the 
                 C
morning, when I got the payphone 
call
        Am                         
And she said, “Did I wake you up”, 
              F         G
I said, “Hey, no, not at all”
        Am                         
And she said, “I got this suitcase 
      F                  G
and I don't know what to pack”
      Am                           
And I said, “You can take anything 
    F      G
you want,
          F                  
Just wait and see, it's not a 
   C                   G
release, it's not a reward
         Am
It's the blessings,
         F                G
It's the gift of what you notice 
more,”
      Am                           
And I walked out and I watched her 
         C               G
kick the big pile of the night
       Am                        
And we sat down and we waited for 
      F                 G
that strange and empty light
          F               C    Em
Yeah, the blessings, aah, aah, aah


         Am                      
See them smiling, see them stuck, 
          C                G
see them try, I wish them luck
    F                C  Em  Am
And all the blessings
