The Gift
Jim Brickman


I’m 100% sure this is how it is played...
The original key is one step higher
It's better to play this with a capo on the 1st fret

Intro: A – A/Ab - F#m – E – D - E


Stanza 1:
A                A/Ab
  Winter snow is falling down 
F#m                 E
  Children laughing all around 
D                    D/C#
  Lights are turning on 
       Bm               E
Like a fairy tale come true 



Stanza 2:
A                A/Ab
  Sitting by the fire we made 
F#m                 E
  You're the answer when i prayed 
D               D/C#
  I would find someone 
    Bm            E
And baby i found you



Chorus:
      A/C#        D            E  D
All i want is to hold you forever
      A/C#         D          E  D
All i need is you more every day
A/C#          C# 
You saved my heart
           F#m  E  D       
From being broken apart
              Bm      A/C#
You gave your love away
                   E 
And i'm thankful every day 
          A – A/Ab - F#m – E – D 
For the gift 



Stanza 3:
E                  E/D#
  Watching as you softly sleep 
C#m               B
  What i'd give if i could keep 
A           A/Ab
  Just this moment
   F#m             B 
If only time stood still 



Stanza 4:
E                 E/D#
  But the colors fade away 
C#m                  B
  And the years will make us grey
A                A/Ab 
  But baby in my eyes
       F#m            B 
You'll still be beautiful 



Chorus:
      E/G#       A           B    A
All i want is to hold you forever 
      E/G#        A           B    A
All i need is you more every day 
E/G#         Ab
You saved my heart
           C#m   B  A 
From being broken apart
              F#m    E/G#
You gave your love away 
                 B
And i'm thankful every day 
         E
For the gift 



Interlude:
A – B – C#m – B – A – F#m – B
C#m – B/D# – E – E/G# - A – B



Chorus:
     E/G#         A          B   A
All i want is to hold you forever 
     E/G#         A          B   A 
All i need is you more every day 
E/G#         Ab
You saved my heart
           C#m  B A 
From being broken apart
              F#m   E/G# 
You gave your love away 
                  A        E/G#
I can't find the words to say 
                  F#m     B          E           
That i'm thankful every day for the gift
