Bright Glittering Gifts chords by Laura Veirs

Key: G

♫ Verse 1:

    G                C             G
I have scene after scene, after scene of you
                         C             G
Pouring through me like sand through an hourglass
            Am                  C              G
It's almost empty, you with the pure heart
            Am                  C              G
You with the peach pie and the earth in your hands



♫ Verse 2:

    G                C                    G
It's this beautiful, beautiful, beautiful you
                     C                    G
Well, the sands are shifting under me now
    G                C                    G
All the water's murky and all the smoke is thick
            Am                  C              G
I'm lost in the waves but I know I wanna live
            Am                  C              G
To see your sun fading and darkness flooding from above

♫ Verse 3:

    G                C                    G
I see the coming of the twinkling of the starlight
                         C             G
And Orion wield his sword to breaking night
            Am                  C              G
I know darkness but I feel the back of your hand
            Am                  C              G
I'll taste the earth and turn my face to the wind
            Am                  C              G
Enter a warm storm with an open heart


♫ Outro:
            Am                  C              G
And I'll receive bright glittering gifts from the dark
            Am                  C              G
And I'll receive bright glittering gifts from the dark
            Am                  C              G
And I'll receive bright glittering gifts from the dark
            Am                  C              G
And I'll receive bright glittering gifts from the dark
