Big Thief – Sadness As A Gift Chords on Piano & Ukulele

[Intro]
A

[Verse 1]
A       A/G#    F#m
You and I both know
F#m      D               A
There is nothing more to say
D               A
Chances shutter shining eyes
    E            Bm
And turn to face away

[Chorus 1]
D                     A
Leaning on the window sill
A                  D
You could write me someday
                A
and I think you will
A                D
We could see the sadness
    D/C#     Bm
as a gift and still
         E
Feel too heavy to hold

[Verse 2]
A    A/G#   F#m
Snow falling
F#m    D            A
Try to keep from calling
D                A
Watch the spring turn to winter
E              Bm
Fireflies all frozen

[Chorus 2]
D              A
The seasons go fast
A             D                  A
Thinking that this one was gonna last
A         D
Maybe the question
    D/C#        Bm      E
was too much to ask

[Verse 3]
A         A/G#      F#m
Searching for your eyes
F#m           D          A
All I see are blue skies
A         D
And that old man
           A
beats his crooked cane

It's time to let go

[Chorus 1]
D                     A
Leaning on the window sill

Thinking that this
              A
one was gonna last
A         D

was too much to ask

A       A/G#    F#m
You and I could see
F#m      D          A
Into the same eternity
D            A        E          Bm
Every second brimming with a majesty

Kiss so sweet, so fine

You could hear the music
          A
inside my mind

And you showed me a place to find
E
Even when I'm old
