G

I spent most of my life
              D
Waiting for what happens after I die
   Am
Freedom we sang and I tried to obey
                D
While the butterflies danced in the wind
G
I spent most of my nights
              D
Begging forgiveness for being alive
   Am
Tension prevailed in my stuttered exhale
              D
While the songbird sang effortlessly


[Chorus]
         G
If you love her
           D
Reach out and love her
 Am                   Em
Don't fight your own skin
        C
It was made to be lived in
             G
If you're changing
             D
Just look around you
      Am          Em
It's magic, isn't it
        C                  F
When leaves turn green to red


[Verse 2]
G
I grew into my life
               D
Shеdding my shackles one shame at a time
  Am
Lighter I felt holding hands with myself
             D
While the summer heat cooled to a breeze
G
So I married a girl
                      D
And mourned when my family fell from my world
                 Am
And when our neighbors cut down all the pines 'round their house
          D
My wife cried so we planted some more

And the songbird sang reverently


[Chorus]
         G
If you love her
           D
Reach out and love her
 Am                   Em
Don't fight your own skin
        C
It was made to be lived in
              G
If you're changing
             D
Just look around you
      Am          Em
It's magic, isn't it
       C                   F
When leaves turn green to red
G            D
Mi chamochah baelim
  Am          Em          D
Adonai, oh Adonai
 G            D
Mi kamochah nedar
   Am         Em          D
Bakodesh, bakodesh
F        C
Nora t'hilot
  G
Oseih fele
