[Verse 1]
G D 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 windowsill C G You could write me someday, and I think you will C Am We could see the sadness as a gift and still D Feel too heavy to hold
[Verse 2]
G D Em Snow fallin' C G I try to keep from callin' C Watch the spring turn to winter G D Am Fireflies all frozen C G The seasons go so fast C G Thinking that this one was gonna last C G Am D Maybe the question was too much to ask
[Verse 3]
G Em Been searching for your eyes C G All I see is blue skies C G And that old man beats his crooked cane D Am It's time to let go
[Chorus]
C G Leaning on the windowsill C G You could write me someday, and I bet you will C G Am We could see the sadness as a gift and still C G The seasons go so fast C G Thinking that this one was gonna last C Am D Maybe the question was too much to ask

G D/F# Em C G You and I could see into the same eternity C G D Am Every second brimming with a majesty C G Oh, kiss so sweet, so fine C G You could hear the music inside my mind C Em And you showed me a place Am D I'll find even when I'm old
[Out-Chorus]
C G Just leaning on the windowsill C G You could write me someday, and I bet you will C G Am We could see the sadness as a gift and still C G The seasons go so fast C G Thinking that this one was gonna last C Am D Maybe the question was too much to ask
