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 G G C D (fade out)
