Verse 1 
C    
   I feel a change in the weather, 
                           G 
   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 
   Who has been so long alone, 
                    F 
   I'm headed home,   Headed home 

C G F 

Verse 2 
C 
   The nights are getting colder now, 
                              G 
   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

Verse 3 
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, 
C       G                     F 
   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,

Verse 5 
   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,

   I first tasted the universe on a night like this, 
C 
   An alibi, a box of wine, 
           Am 
   And the hunger in your eyes, 
G                                             F 
   In a place where the tree of good and evil   still resides,
