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

CHORUS
---------
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

  -til I heard you in the garden
                           E
  Singing the saddest song
                                (E/G#)
  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
                                      
  You were singing the saddest song...

---------
   Bm     D
  And Ooooh
                   A                      E
  But I saw you change in a blink of an eye
             Bm   D
  And it's so hard
           Fm               E
  It's so hard to see you cry, cry, crying woah-oh-oh

CHORUS
---------
  A                         (A/G#)     Fm
  Standing on the edge and breaking through
                                D
  Never seemed impossible to you
                                      E
  When you're singing the saddest song

  When you're singing the saddest song
      A                       (A/G#)     Fm
  And only once you let the world come near you
                        D
  Because everyone can hear you
                          E
  Singing the saddest song

  When you're singing the saddest song
          A
  You know
