Sufjan Stevens - Carol of St. Benjamin The Bearded One: chords

C      G
I can see you there
    C                              G
Oh, in the snowbank with a snowman at your side
F                                G
And in my heart and in my spirit I concede
      F                                  Am
The things you want in life you have to really need
                     C
This is a matter of life

Only parents cry
Oh, when they want to show the world
they're still alive
And in my heart and in my spirit I believe
The draft beneath the doorframe comes to challenge
me
This is a matter of life

Oh, be kind to me
Oh, Benjamin who keeps his hands inside his sleeves
And in my heart and in my spirit I can read
The way he brushed his beard against the cedar tree
Keeping his eyes upon me

I can see you there
Oh, in the snowbank with the snowman at your side
And in my heart and in my spirit I concede
The things you want in life you have to really need
