INTRO: A 
 
verse 1 

A 
  I've learned a lesson  
                           Cm 
  from being down at my worst 

  I count my blessings 
                              D 
  I wouldn't say I've been cursed 

  It's not that easy 
                           E 
  it's not that easy to start 

  I'm trying to tell you 

  it's not so hard

A                   (A/G#)    Fm 
  You were just impossible to find un- 
                            D 
  -til I heard you in the garden 
                           E 
  Singing the saddest song 

  You were singing the saddest song 
  A                      (A/G#)  Fm 
  Huddled neath the willow on a cold night 
                               D 
  You were shadowed from the moonlight 
                           E 
  Singing the saddest song 
                                           A 
  You were singing the saddest song you know 


verse 2 

A 
  Take just a second 
                    Cm 
  Are you really alone? 

  You change directions and you find 
                         D 
  You're no closer to home 

  If there's an answer 
                            E 
  And if that answer is right 

  Let go, even if you don't know why
