The Very First Snow

G                      C       G
The world rolls and it changes gears
                       Em
But today I'll stay in bed
G                      C       G
I'm gonna soak these sheets in tears
                           D
I'm gonna think of you instead

[Chorus]
C                         Em
They say that you're in a better place now
C                                    G
Oh but they don't believe what they know
C                        Em
You left with all of the Christmas lights on
C                          G   D
As light as the very first snow

[Verse 2]
G               C        G
I see red and I hear the noise
                          Em
I'm gonna go there when I can
G                    C       G
Oh whiskey rye is my drug of choice
                            D
I think the night will understand

[Chorus]
C                             Em
And though you won't get that cold anymore
C                                 G
You will freeze in the back of my brain
C                       Em
And in my dreams I will open the door
C                         G     D
If you will lean into the frame

[Verse 3]
G                   C      G
I'm gonna miss your indoor voice
                            Em
And the way you washed your hands
G                          C        G
And all these diamonds you left for me
                         D
That I just thought were sand

[Chorus]
C                         Em
They say that you're in a better place now
C                                   G
Oh but they don't believe what they know
C                        Em
You left with all of the Christmas lights on
C                          G     D
As light as the very first snow
