[Intro]
C G D Am G D Am
[Verse 1]
G D Am
Well leave darlin leaves on a tree
G D Am
they fall occasionally
G D Am G C
Careless and utterly head over feet
G D Am
That's me darlin that's me
C Em G D
But the morning light it burns uninvited
C Em G D
and all the time runs weighted and wild like the
C Em G D
memories swiftly divided and
C Em G D
seemingly left behind
[Chorus]
C Em G D
So what am I but a gullible girl,
C Em G D
who fell for the moon and away from world
C Em G D C
and into the bed where I wanted to feel your skin?
G D C
Where regret slipped its way in
G D C Em
and anchored my new smarter self deep within
G D C Em
the embarrassing stunts that we pull for the lusts
G D
That blinds us from us
[Verse 2]
G D Am
So leave darlin leaves on a tree
G D Am
They fall occasionally
G D Am G C
Broken and tired with gravity
G D Am
that's me darlin that's me
[Instrumental]
G D Am G C
G D Am Am
[Verse 3]
C Em G D
But when the day comes that we meet once again
C Em G D
We'd like to think that your still my friend
C Em G D
But I'll never forget the morning light
[Chorus]
C Em G D
No I won't forget the morning light
C Em G D
that burned like a bruise on the page white
C Em G D
skin of my sorry old self that night
G D Am
So I want you to leave darlin' leaves on a tree
G D Am
they fall occasionally
G D Am G C
With love so heavy that branch must release
G D Am
That's me darlin that's me
G D Am C
With love so heavy the branch must release
