[D] [F#]
[Bm] [G] [A]
[G] If you're gonna get your heart broke, you better [D] do it just [F#m] right
It's gotta [Bm] be raining, and you gotta [G] move your stuff
[A] Day and night, [Bm] and the only friend you can reach
[G] Isn't a good [A] friend at all
[Bm] And you know when he says, now who don't you
[G] Bet you never should have made [A] that call
And [G] he had the seams, there's [D] nobody there, there's [A] nobody home
Yeah, [Bm] the blessings, at [G] the moment I [A] was most [Bm] alone
And they miss us a full time [D] fool, the joke was [A] on me
I [Bm] got all those birds, [G] flying off of the [A] tree [G] That's blessings
[D] [F#] [Bm]
[G] [A]
[G] And the blessings were like poets, that [D] we'd never find [F#m] time to know
[B] But when time stopped, I found a [G] place where the father [A] he had to go
[Bm] And I said, here have some coffee, [G] it's straight black and [A] very old
[Bm] And they gave me sticks and rocks and [G] stars and all that [A] I could hold
And [G] he had blessings, a [D] moment of peace even when [A] the night ends [B] Yeah, blessings
Can [G] we meet, can [A] we meet [B] again at the crossroads of disaster
[D] And the [A] imperfect smile [Bm] with the angel in the street lamp that [G] blinks on
As [A] I walk on a [G] mile of blessings
[D]
[F#m] [B] [Bm] [G]
[A] [Bm] And the best ones were the ones I got to keep as [A] I grew strong
[Bm] And the days that opened up until my whole life [A] could be long
It's like [G] getting the answers [D] when I don't need [A] them anymore
I'm [Bm] finding the pictures and I [G] finally know what I [F#] kept them for [Bm] I remember
[D] I can see [A] them
[Bm] See them smiling, see them stuck, [G] see them dry
I [A] wish them luck [G] and all the blessings
[D] [F#m]
[B] [Bm] [G] [A]
[G] I was fast asleep, three in the [D] morning when I got the [F#m] payphone call
[Bm] And she said, did I wake you up?
I [G] said, hey no, [A] not at all
[Bm] And she said, I got this suitcase [G] and I don't know [A] what to pack
[Bm] And I said, you can take anything [G] you want, [A] just [G] wait and see
It's [D] not a release, it's [A] not a reward, [Bm] it's a blessing
[G] It's the gift of [A] what you notice [Bm] more
And I walked out and I watched her [D] pick the big pile [A] of the night
[Bm] And we sat down and we waited [G] for that strange and [A] empty light
[G] Yeah, the blessing rings
[D] [F#] [F#m]
