Blessing in Disguise
K. Kristofferson (intro verse written by Carter/Warren)
Album: To the Bone

    D                D7          G
You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you
    A                               D     A
You asked me not to call you on the phone
            D           D7        G
But there's somethin' I wanted to tell you
     A                             D
So I wrote it in the words of this song


       D              G                  D     G-D
Well I guess you know, you took me by surprise
         A                  G              D     G-D
When you told me that you'd broken all the rules
        D              G             D    G-D
And the future felt as empty as your eyes
       A                           D   G-D D7
When I realized how far I was from you


CHORUS:
         G                                   D                 
But they tell me that the truth will set you free
A               G              D     D7
From the sad confusion of your life
       G                            D              G
And it led me to a side of you that I'd refused to see
     D                 A              G           
So I guess it's been a blessing in disguise


BREAK: D  A  G  


So there's nothing left to keep us holding on now
To the mystery we used to be before
What we ever shared together there is gone now
And what might have been don't matter anymore


CHORUS:
But they tell me that the truth will set you free
From the sweet illusion of your life
And it led me to a side of you that I'd refused to see
So I guess it's been a blessing in disguise
