CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: F C Em Am F G
If you’re
gonna get your heart broke, you better do it
just right
It’s gotta be
raining and you gotta move your
stuff that
night
And the
only friend you can reach, isn’t a
good friend at
all
And you
know when he says, ?Now who dumped who’
That you
never should have made that
call
I had
blessings
There’s nobody
there, there’s nobody
home
Yeah, the
blessings
At the
moment I was
most alone and
aimless as a fulltime fool
The j
oke was on
me
I got
all those birds flying
off of that
tree
That’s a
blessing
And the
blessings were like poets that we
never find time to
know
But
when time stopped, I found the place where
the poets
go
And they
said, ?Here have some coffee, it’s straight
black and very
old?
And they
gave me sticks and rocks and stars and
all that I could
hold
I had
blessings
A moment of
peace even when the night
ends
Yeah,
blessings
Can we
meet? Can we
meet again at the
crossroads of disaster
And the
imperfect
smile
With the
angel in the streetlamp that blinks
on as I walk
on a mile
Th
e blessings
And the
best ones were the ones I got to
keep as I grew
strong
And the
days that opened up until my
whole life could be
long
It’s like getting the
answers, when I don’t
need them any
more
I’m finding the
pictures, and I finally
know what I kept them
for
I re
member, I can
see them
See them
smiling, see them stuck
See them
try, I wish them
luck
An
d all the blessin
gs
I was
fast asleep at three in the morning, when I
got the payphone call
And she
said, ?Did I wake you up?, I said, ?Hey,
no, not at
all?
And she
said, ?I got this suitcase and I
don’t know what to
pack?
And I
said, ?You can take anything you
want,
Just wait
and see, it’s not a re
lease, it’s not a re
ward
It’s the
blessings,
It’s the
gift of what you
notice more,?
And I
walked out and I watched her kick the
big pile of the
night
And we
sat down and we waited for that
strange and empty
light
Yeah, the
blessings, aah,
aah,
aah
See them
smiling, see them stuck, see them
try, I wish them
luck
And
all the blessings
