The First Snow Of The Year

[Intro]
G G C D
G G C D

[Verse 1]
G
For the first snow of the year
C D
Maybe we will stand together
G
On some empty washed-out corner
C D
In your parents neighborhood
G
Oh these streets you know by heart
C D
Let us walk and let us listen
G
Joni Mitchell wishes for a river
C D
I just wish you’d point your mittened hand

[Chorus 1]
C G D Em
Find the moon and the stars like woah
Em C G D Em
Cracked white keys against the black keys of the sky, Yeah
Em C G D Em
So the sky is this piano and the music is hushed and still
C D G
And perfect for the first snow of the year

G G C D
G G C D

[Verse 2]
G
Sharon there is something nice
C D
The simple glow of a living room
G
The drunken wash of mantle lights
C D
Like hazy and slow on hardwood floors
G
Where jeans get warm against your legs
C D
Sweaters get warm and zippers get hot
G
And my brother and the girl he loves
C D C
Are lying soft on the couch and you can sort of hear them say

[Chorus 2]
C G D Em C
You are my life, You are my size
C G D Em
You are my friend, my best friend
C G
And the window pane is polar stains
D Em
A networked map that leads a path
C
Through arctic veins
D G
To the first snow of the year
G7
Take me to the bridge!

[Bridge]
C G C G
And the air it smells like winter
C G C G
And these clouds stood stacked like slate
C
And Yellow taxis find the street
Em
Bicycles whir and buses squeak
Am D
We lean against a mailbox and wait
D
For everything

[Verse 3]
G
My buddy calls it “Tetris brain”
C D
When you play that game all day
G
And at night when you’re going to sleep
C D
You close your eyes and see the pieces moving
G
I swear to god that’s what it was
C D
Those seven weeks we talked so much
G
I would feel my cell phone vibrate
C D
In my pocket even though it was off

[Chorus 3]
C G
So I held you like a flag, I did!
D Em
For this idea of ourselves together
C G
And waved it wild about my head
D Em
The autumn green to orange to red
C
Then white
D G
To the first snow of the year

C D G
To the first snow of the year
C D G
To the first snow of the year
C D G
To the first snow of the year

[Outro]
