[Verse 1]
B B/Cm FmYou and I both know
F BThere is nothing more to say
F BChance has shut her shining eyes
B FmAnd turned her face away
 
[Chorus]
F BLeaning on the window sill
F BYou could write me someday and I think you will
F F/G FmWe could see the sadness as a gift and still
B7Feel too heavy to hold
 
[Verse 2]
B B/Cm FmSnow falling
F BTry to keep from calling
F BWatch the spring turn to winter
B FmFireflies all frozen
 
[Chorus]
F BThe seasons Go so fast
F BThinking that this one was gonna last
F F/G Fm B7Maybe the question was too much to ask
 
[Verse 3]
B B/Cm FmBeen searching for your eyes
F BAll I see is blue skies
F BAnd that old man beats his crooked cane
B FmIt's time to let go
 
[Chorus]
F BLeaning on the window sill
F BYou could write me someday and I bet you will
F F/G FmWe could see the sadness as a gift and still...
F BThe seasons Go fast
F BThinking that this one was gonna last
F F/G Fm B7Maybe the question was too much to ask

B B/Cm FmYou and I could see
F BInto the same eternity
F B B FmEvery second brimming with a majesty
 
[Chorus]
F BOh, kiss so sweet, so fine
F BYou could hear the music inside my mind
F F/G FmAnd you showed me a place I'll find
BEven when I'm old
 
[Chorus]
F BJust leaning on the window sill
F BYou could write me someday and I hope you will
F F/G FmWe could see the sadness as a gift and still
F BThe seasons Go fast
F BThinking that this one was gonna last
F F/G Fm B7Maybe the question was too much to ask
