[Intro]

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

[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]
