[Verse]
C
Under the autumn leaves
G7
I found to my surprise
Am
The rings we worn summers since
Fmaj7
The flowers were still alive
C
They say that our own bodies
G7
Are made of bones and dust
Am
And how we lie beneath the maple tree
Fmaj7 C
And pray that the leaves don't cover us
Am
Ohhhhh
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 Am
Our hearts were beating
E Fmaj7 C
Like humming birds that night
G7 Am E Fmaj7
A restless wind blew them open
G7 C
As the birds were taking flight
Fmaj7 C
Young hearts are bright
G7 Am
And just as light
Fmaj7 C
And blowing in the air tonight
[Keyboard solo]

Fmaj7 G7
She said I want to believe
C
That we can laugh
Am Fmaj7
But I know that it's tough when you're lost in the leaves
G7
And I'm in no rush
C Am Fmaj7
But if we try to unite then we might just turn back into dust
Fm C
It's only natural for us
[Verse]
C
Walking through this hotel
G7
I'm reminded
Am
Of all the trees that we tore down
Fmaj7
To let the sun shine in
C
We buried our beating hearts
G7
Under the rocks and dirt
Am
And now mine is filled with the fallen leaves
Fmaj7 C
And if you're not here it's going to burst
Am
Ohhhhh
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 Am
Our hearts were beating
E Fmaj7 C
Like humming birds that night
G7 Am E Fmaj7
A restless wind blew them open
G7 C
As the birds were taking flight
Fmaj7 C
Young hearts are bright
G7 Am
And just as light
Fmaj7 C
And blowing in the air tonight
