Intro: G Cadd9 (4x)
G
I was spinning through the air
Em
when I thought my life was ending,
C
but I was really on the ground and
D G
you were lying right there next to me.
G
I looked right into your eyes
Em
and I found myself pretending
C
that we were high above the canopy
D G
but tethered to the trunk of a tree.
C D Em
Slow down, take time, and see
G C
the forest for the leaves.
C D Em
I know that I, should practice
C D G
what I preach
G
I was falling to the ground
Em
when I felt my body breaking,
C
but I had fallen in your lap
D
with my head tilted back so I can see
G
the sun eclipsed by your hair
Em
that left a halo hanging
C
Waiting above so when you go
D G
you wont have to wait to get your wings
C D Em
Slow down, take time, and see
G C
the forest for the leaves.
C D Em
I know that I, should practice
C D G
what I preach
