The Canopy

Intro: G G G Cadd9 (X4)

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
