Verse 1
C
   I feel a change in the weather,

   I feel a change in me,
                                F
   The days are getting shorter   and the birds begin to leave,
C
   Even me, yes, yes, y'all,
                                G

Verse 2
C
   The nights are getting colder now,

   The air is getting crisp,
                               F
   I first tasted the universe   on a night like this,
C
   A box of wine, an alibi,
                               G
   and the hunger in her eyes,
                               F
   In a place where the tree of good and evil still resides,
C          G       F
   Still resides

C
   She said "show me what you got, babe,
                                 G
   I'm not like other girls",

   Just give me your bad self
          F
   And a place for us to make a stand and I can move the world
C
   Lift the valley from the floor, honey,
                          G
   Litle town into the sky,
                                  F
   They'll say that it's a miracle and you'll know damn well they're right,

   Damn well they're right

Verse 4
C
   When the oracle spoke to me she was like a roadside song,
G                                     F
   Do unto others as you would have them do,

   Even if in turn they do you wrong,
C
   This town right here's my everything,
                                G
   Though I've been torn away,
                              F
   It has my heart, It has my heart,
                                    C
   Be still my heart, My heart will stay,
                                            G   F
   My heart will stay, My heart will stay,

   F                     G
   Get just a little bit higher,
                       Am
   Get a little tongue tied,
                         F
   Gonna try to find whatever ever ever made time,
   F
   That kind of immemorial,
   G
   That time before the fall,
   Am
   That time before the autumn
   F
   Really turned the corner
   F
   Drive east of Eden,
            G
   'Till we start to feel the west,
            Am
   You were never far from nowhere,
             F                       Am
   You could see it from the edge of town,
                       G
   Honey, baby, wonder how it feel now,
       Am                                G
   Somehow I can't believe that it could feel like before, but,
