THE GIFT - JIM BRICKMAN

Tuning: Standard
Capo: 1st Fret

[Verse 1]
A               E
Winter snow is falling down
F#m                C#m    D
Children laughing all around
                   A
Lights are turning on
       Bm7             E
Like a fairy tale come true.
A               E
Sitting by the fire we made
F#m                C#m     D
You're the answer when I prayed
            A
I would find someone
    Bm7          Esus  E
And baby I found you.
 
[Chorus 1]
          A         D          Esus  E
And all I want is to hold you forever
      A          D         Esus  E
All I need is you more every day
A            C#7
You saved my heart
           F#m        B7
From being broken apart
               Bm7     A
You gave your love away
                  E
And I'm thankful every day for the gift.

[Verse 2]
E               B
Watching as you softly sleep
C#m              G#m     A
What I'd give if I could keep
          E
Just this moment
     F#m7               B
If only time stood still.
E             B      C#m
But the colors fade away
                   G#m          A
And the years will make us grey
               E
But baby in my eyes
        F#m7            Bsus B
You'll still be beautiful.
 
[Chorus 2]
          E          A          Bsus B
And all I want is to hold you forever
      E           A         Bsus B
All I need is you more every day
E            G#7
You saved my heart
           C#m     F#7
From being broken apart
               F#m7
You gave your love away
E                  B                E
And I'm thankful every day for the gift.

And all I want is to hold you forever

All I need is you more every day
E            G#7
You saved my heart
           C#m     F#7
From being broken apart
               F#m7
You gave your love away
E                A         C#m7
I can’t find the word to say
                 F#m7       B
And I'm thankful every day for the gift.
