      Chords in () are optional transition chords, but they do follow the bass pattern
of the song and make it sound a bit better IMO:

VERSE 1

A                   A                           Cm
  I learned a lesson from being down at my worst
                      Cm
  I count my blessings I wouldn't say I've been cursed
D                   D                         E
  It's not that easy it's not that easy to start
                        E
  I'm trying to tell you it's not so hard

---------
CHORUS
---------
A                   (A/G#)    Fm
  You were just impossible to find then
                            D
  'til I heard you in the garden
                           E
  Singing the saddest song

  You were singing the saddest song
  A                       (A/G#)  Fm
  Huddled 'neath the willow on a cold night
                               D
  You were shadowed from the moonlight
                           E
  Singing the saddest song
                                           A
  You were singing the saddest song you know

VERSE 2

A                                      Cm
  Take just a second, are you really alone?
                                                           D
  You change directions and you find you're no closer to home
                                               E
  If there's an answer and if that answer is right

  Let go, even if you don't know why

  'til I heard you in the garden
                           E
  Singing the saddest song
                              (E/G#)
  You were singing the saddest song
  A                       (A/G#)  Fm
  Huddled 'neath the willow on a cold night
                               D
  You were shadowed from the moonlight
                           E
  Singing the saddest song
                                      
  You were singing the saddest song...

             Bm   D
  And it's so hard

  A                         (A/G#)     Fm
  Standing on the edge and breaking through
                                D
  Never seemed impossible to you
                                      E
  When you're singing the saddest song

  When you're singing the saddest song

  And all at once you let the world come near you
                        D
  Because everyone can hear you
                          E
  Singing the saddest song

          A
  You know
