G       G/F#   Em
You and I both know

         C                G
There is nothing more to say

C                     G
Chance has shut her shining eyes

    D                Am
And turned her face away
[Chorus]
C                     G
Leaning on the window sill

                   C                         G
You could write me someday and I think you will

Snow falling

I try to keep from calling

           C
Watch the spring turn to winter

 G     D           Am
Fireflies all frozen
[Chorus]
    C              G
The seasons go so fast

                   C                 G
Thinking that this one was gonna last

            C          C/B         Am    D7
Maybe the question was too much to ask
[Verse 3]
     G         G/F#      Em
Been searching for your eyes

      C              G
All I see is blue sky

          C                G
And that old man beats his crooked cane

      D            Am
It's time to let go
[Chorus]
C                     G
Leaning on the window sill

                   C                         G
You could write me someday and I bet you will

G       G/F#    Em
You and I could see

         C            G
Into the same eternity

C            G                D      Am
Every second brimming with a majesty
[Chorus]
    C                 G
Oh, kiss so sweet, so fine

                   C                  G
You could hear the music inside my mind

          C           C/B       Am
And you showed me a place I'll find

              D7
Even when I'm old
[Chorus]
     C                     G
Just leaning on the window sill

                   C                         G
You could write me someday and I hope you will

                 C            C/B       Am
We could see the sadness as a gift and still

Thinking that this one was gonna last

            C          C/B         Am     D7
Maybe the question was too much to ask
