If you're ^Fgonna get your heart broke, you better do it ^Cjust right ^Em It's gotta be ^Amraining and you gotta move your ^Fstuff that ^Gnight And the ^Amonly friend you can reach, isn't a ^Fgood friend at ^Gall And you ^Amknow when he says, “Now who dumped who?” That you ^Fnever should have made that^G call

I had^F blessings There's nobody ^Cthere, there's nobody ^Ghome Yeah, the ^Amblessings At the ^Fmoment I was ^Gmost alone and ^Amaimless as a fulltime fool The j^Coke was on ^Gme I got ^Amall those birds flying ^Foff of that ^Gtree That's a ^Fblessing ^{C Em Am F G}

And the ^Fblessings were like poets that we ^Cnever find time to ^Emknow But ^Amwhen time stopped, I found the place where ^Fthe poets^G go And they ^Amsaid, “Here have some coffee, it's straigh^Ft black and ver^Gy old” And they ^Amgave me sticks and rocks and stars and ^Fall that I could ^Ghold

I had^F blessings A moment of ^Cpeace even when the night ^Gends Yeah, ^Amblessings Can we ^Fmeet? Can we ^Gmeet again at the ^Amcrossroads of disaster And the ^Cimperfect ^Gsmile With the ^Amangel in the streetlamp that blinks ^Fon as I walk ^Gon a mile Th^Fe blessings ^{C Em Am F G}

And the ^Ambest ones were the ones I got to ^Fkeep as I grew ^Gstrong And the ^Amdays that opened up until my ^Fwhole life could be^Glong It's like getting the ^Fanswers, when I don't ^Cneed them any^Gmore I'm finding the ^Ampictures, and I finally ^Fknow what I kept them ^Emfor I re^Ammember, I can ^Csee them^G See them ^Amsmiling, see them stuck See them ^Ftry, I wish them ^Gluck An^Fd all the blessin^Cgs ^{Em Am F G}

I was^F fast asleep at three in the morning, when I ^Cgot the payphone call And she ^Amsaid, “Did I wake you up”, I said, ??^F?Hey, no, ^Gnot at all” And she ^Amsaid, “I got this suitcase and ^FI don't know what t^Go pack” And I ^Amsaid, “You can take anything yo^Fu want,^G Just wait ^Fand see, it's not a re^Clease, it's not a re^Gward It's the ^Amblessings, It's the ^Fgift of what you ^Gnotice more,” And I ^Amwalked out and I watched her kick the ^Cbig pile of the ^Gnight And we ^Amsat down and we waited for that ^Fstrange and empty ^Glight Yeah, the ^Fblessings, aah, ^Caah, ^Emaah

See them ^Amsmiling, see them stuck, see them ^Ctry, I wish them ^Gluck And ^Fall the blessings^{C Em Am}
