E Esus E Esus
Leaves were falling just like embers
E A
In colors red and gold they set us on fire
A E
Burning just like moonbeams in our eyes
B7 E A
Somebody said they saw me swinging the world by the tail
A E B7 E Esus
Bouncing over a white cloud killing the blues
E Esus E Esus
Now I am guilty of something
E
I hope you never do
A
Because there is nothing
E
Sadder than losing yourself in love

Somebody said they saw me swinging the world by the tail
A E B7 E Esus
Bouncing over a white cloud killing the blues

And then you ask me just to leave you
To set out on my own
A
And get what I need to
E
You want me to find what I've already had

Somebody said they saw me swinging the world by the tail
A E B7 E Esus E
Bouncing over a white cloud killing the blues
