VERSE 1

A augmentedA
 I've learned a lesson
              C minorCm
 from being down at my worst

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

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

 I'm trying to tell you

 it's not so hard

CHORUS
---------
A augmentedA          (A/G#)  F minorFm
 You were just impossible to find un-
              D MajorD
 -til I heard you in the garden
              E MajorE
 Singing the saddest song

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

---------
VERSE 2
---------
A augmentedA
 Take just a second
          C minorCm
 Are you really alone?

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

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

 Let go, even if you don't know why

---------
CHORUS

 Singing the saddest song
                (E/G#)
 You were singing the saddest song
 A augmentedA           (A/G#) F minorFm
 Huddled neath the willow on a cold night
                D MajorD
 You were shadowed from the moonlight
              E MajorE
 Singing the saddest song

 You were singing the saddest song...

CHORUS

 A augmentedA             (A/G#)   F minorFm
 Standing on the edge and breaking through
                D MajorD
 Never seemed impossible to you
                   E MajorE
 When you're singing the saddest song

 When you're singing the saddest song
   A augmentedA            (A/G#)   F minorFm
 And only once you let the world come near you
            D MajorD
