C C C/B C/B Am Am D7 D7

[Verse 1]
G G G/F# G/F# Em Em
You and I both know
C C G G
There is nothing more to say
C C G G
Chance has shut her shining eyes
D D Am Am
And turned her face away

[Chorus]
C C G G
Leaning on the window sill
C C G G
You could write me someday and I think you will
C C C/B C/B Am Am
We could see the sadness as a gift and still
D7 D7
Feel too heavy to hold

[Verse 2]
G G G/F# G/F# Em Em
Snow falling
C C G G
Try to keep from calling
C C G G
Watch the spring turn to winter
D D Am Am
Fireflies all frozen

[Chorus]
C C G G
The seasons go so fast
C C G G
Thinking that this one was gonna last
C C C/B C/B Am Am D7 D7
Maybe the question was too much to ask

[Verse 3]
G G G/F# G/F# Em Em
Been searching for your eyes
C C G G
All I see is blue skies
C C G G
And that old man beats his crooked cane
D D Am Am
It's time to let go

[Chorus]
C C G G
Leaning on the window sill
C C G G
You could write me someday and I bet you will
C C C/B C/B Am Am
We could see the sadness as a gift and still...
C C G G
The seasons go fast
C C G G
Thinking that this one was gonna last
C C C/B C/B Am Am D7 D7
Maybe the question was too much to ask

[Instrumental]

C C C/B C/B Am Am D7 D7

[Verse 4]
G G G/F# G/F# Em Em
You and I could see
C C G G
Into the same eternity
C C G G D D Am Am
Every second brimming with a majesty

[Chorus]
C C G G
Oh, kiss so sweet, so fine
C C G G
You could hear the music inside my mind
C C C/B C/B Am Am
And you showed me a place I'll find
D D
Even when I'm old

[Chorus]
C C G G
Just leaning on the window sill
C C G G
You could write me someday and I hope you will
C C C/B C/B Am Am
We could see the sadness as a gift and still
C C G G
The seasons go fast
C C G G
Thinking that this one was gonna last
C C C/B C/B Am Am D7 D7
Maybe the question was too much to ask
