  			D 
Leaves were falling, just like embers, 
				       G 
In colors red and gold, they set us on fire 
                  D 
Burning just like moonbeams in our eyes. 

Chorus: 
A			   D                        G 
Somebody said they saw me, swinging the world by the tail 
                  D         A    G     D 
Bouncing over a white cloud, killing the blues. 

Now I am guilty of something... 
I hope you never do 
Because there is nothing 
sadder than losing yourself in love. 

(Chorus) 

now you ask me... just to leave you 
set out on my own 
And get what I need to. 
You want me to find what I've already had. 

(Chorus) (2x)
