INTRO 
C Dm Am7 F 
C Dm F G 

VERSE 1
 
C           Dm 
I saw the autumn leaves 
Am7               F 
Peel up off the street 
C                 Dm 
Take wing on the balmy breeze 
      F                  G 
And sweep you off your feet 
C                   Dm 
And you blushed as they scooped you up 
    Am7          F 
On sugar maple wings 
C                     Dm 
To gaze down on the city below 
F                      G 
Ablaze with wondrous things 


Am               G        F 
Downy feathers kiss your face 
       G 
And flutter everywhere 
Am             G      F 
Reality is a lovely place 
         G 
But I wouldn't wanna live there
 

C Dm Am7 F 
         I wouldn't wanna live there 

C Dm F G 

VERSE 2 

C                 Dm 
Weighed down by heavy lids 
     Am7     F 
And lunar lullabies 
C                Dm 
I knew you were wide awake 
            F                G 
'Cause you smile with your eyes 


Am               G        F 
Downy feathers kiss your face 
       G 
And flutter everywhere 
Am             G      F 
Reality is a lovely place 
         G 
But I wouldn't wanna live there
 

BRIDGE 

C                     Dm 
From the green belt balcony 
Am7                     F 
The wildfires look so pretty 
C           Dm 
Ponderosa canopy 
      F            G 
I'd never leave if it were up to me 
C             Dm 
To the ruby redwood tree 
Am7                  F 
And to the velvet climbing ivy 
C               Dm 
Painted all mahogany 
      F            G             C 
I'd never leave if it were up to me 
(If it were up to me) 

F                   G 
With a starry brush 
                          F 
Paint the dusk venetian blue 
                           G 
'Cause in the evening hush 
               C           F 
You'll never believe the view 
                           G 
And when the leaves return 
                                 F 
And their whisperings fill the night 
                        G 
They'll freeze and burn 
                      C 
Where fire and ice collide 

C Dm Am7 F 
         Where fire and ice collide 
C Dm F G 

CHORUS 2 & 1 

Am              G      F 
Can you feel a silk embrace 
         G 
In the satin air? 
Am               G         F 
If we dissolve without a trace 
          G 
Will the real world even care? 
Am               G        F 
Downy feathers kiss your face 
       G 
And flutter everywhere 
Am             G      F 
Reality is a lovely place 
         G 
But I wouldn't wanna live there 

C Dm Am7 F 
         I wouldn't wanna live there 
C Dm F G 

OUTRO 

C           Dm 
I saw the autumn leaves 
Am7               F 
Peel up off the street 
C                 Dm 
Take wing on the balmy breeze 
      F                  G 
And sweep you off your feet...
