The prettiest thing

I ever did see

Was lightning from the top of a cloud

Moving through the dark a million miles an hour

With somewhere to be
Verse 2
[Em]
So why does it seem
[B]
Like a picture
[Dm7/F] [Dm7/E] [Dm7/D]
Hanging up on someone else's wall
[G] / DGDG G, DGDG G
Lately I just haven't been myself at all
[F] [C]
It's heavy on my mind
Chorus
[Am] [Bb] [F]
I'm dreaming again
[Am] [Bb] [F]
Like I've always been
[Am] [Bb] [F]
And way down low
[Am]
I still know
Verse 3
[Cmaj7]
That the prettiest thing
[B]
I ever did see
[Dm7/F] [Dm7/E] [Dm7/D]
Was dusty as the handle on the door
[G] / DGDG G, DGDG G
Rusty as a nail stuck in the old pine floor
[F] [C]
Looks like home to me

Chorus
[Am] [Bb] [F]
I'm dreaming again
[Am] [Bb] [F]
Like I've always been
[Am] [Bb] [F]
And way down low
[Am] [Cmaj7]
thinkin' of the prettiest thing
