C                   G
When we were greened and young as shoots
      C         G/B    Am7
The world took off beneath our boots
   F                   G
Oh we were picked when we were young
 C                 G.....
Gentle words and modesty
  C               G
When we turned towards the tide
 C       G/B        Am7
Choirs screamed in their delight
   F               G
Oh I am ripe and ready now
   C         G/B         Am7
My heart is heavy, it's going to fall
           F       G      C     C7
Out of my body
      F          G
Unto love, unto love
   C            G/B         Am7
Oh my heart is heavy, it's going to fall
            F      G      C....
Out of my body
  C                G
Would have died without
      C      G/B   Am7
Your gardens of eternal life
      F           G             C.....
That you kept so well, kept so well
 C                  G
Could have lived without
     C    G/B      Am7
The fall into the tragedy
     F                 G
But I'm not Adam, and you're not Eve
 C          G/B     Am7
They were brave enough to leave
                 F    G          C      C7
When they were told, leave it behind
            F           G
Leave it behind, it behind
            C     G/B      Am7
They were brave enough to leave
                 F     G         C....
When they were told, leave it behind
(Interlude)
C      G
C   G/B   Am7
F      G      C      C7

F          G
Leave it behind, it behind
           C       G/B      Am7
They were brave enough to leave
                 F  G            C.....
When they were told, leave it behind

(Outro bounces between C and G, and ends on C)
