as best as I could make it! Enjoy.
[INTRO]
C majorC DmDm Am7Am7 FF
C majorC DmDm FF G+G
[VERSE 1]
C majorC DmDm
I saw the autumn leaves
Am7Am7 FF
Peel up off the street
C majorC DmDm
Take wing on the balmy breeze
FF G+G
And sweep you off your feet
C majorC DmDm
And you blushed as they scooped you up
Am7Am7 FF
On sugar maple wings
C majorC DmDm
To gaze down on the city below
FF G+G
Ablaze with wondrous things
[CHORUS]
A minorAm G+G FF
Downy feathers kiss your face
G+G
And flutter everywhere
A minorAm G+G FF
Reality is a lovely place
G+G
But I wouldn't wanna live there
C majorC DmDm Am7Am7 FF
I wouldn't wanna live there
C majorC DmDm FF G+G
[VERSE 2]
C majorC DmDm
Weighed down by heavy lids
Am7Am7 FF
And lunar lullabies
C majorC DmDm
I knew you were wide awake
FF G+G
'Cause you smile with your eyes
[CHORUS]
A minorAm G+G FF
Downy feathers kiss your face
G+G
And flutter everywhere
A minorAm G+G FF
Reality is a lovely place
G+G
But I wouldn't wanna live there
[BRIDGE]
C majorC DmDm
From the green belt balcony
Am7Am7 FF
The wildfires look so pretty
C majorC DmDm
Ponderosa canopy
FF G+G
I'd never leave if it were up to me
C majorC DmDm
To the ruby redwood tree
Am7Am7 FF
And to the velvet climbing ivy
C majorC DmDm
Painted all mahogany
FF G+G C majorC
I'd never leave if it were up to me
(If it were up to me)
FF G+G
With a starry brush
FF
Paint the dusk venetian blue
G+G
'Cause in the evening hush
C majorC FF
You'll never believe the view
G+G
And when the leaves return
FF
And their whisperings fill the night
G+G
They'll freeze and burn
C majorC
Where fire and ice collide
C majorC DmDm Am7Am7 FF
Where fire and ice collide
C majorC DmDm FF G+G
[CHORUS 2 & 1]
A minorAm G+G FF
Can you feel a silk embrace
G+G
In the satin air?
A minorAm G+G FF
If we dissolve without a trace
G+G
Will the real world even care?
A minorAm G+G FF
Downy feathers kiss your face
G+G
And flutter everywhere
A minorAm G+G FF
Reality is a lovely place
G+G
But I wouldn't wanna live there
C majorC DmDm Am7Am7 FF
I wouldn't wanna live there
C majorC DmDm FF G+G
[OUTRO]
C majorC DmDm
I saw the autumn leaves
Am7Am7 FF
Peel up off the street
C majorC DmDm
Take wing on the balmy breeze
FF G+G
