Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[F#m]Babe,[Em][F#m][G][Em][G][D][F#][G][Bm][G]
[Em][G][C][G][D][F#]
[G]hav[Bm]e you[A] s[D]een [Em]those lea[F#m]ves on the [D]ground?
At first [Em]they shone from the [F#m]pavement [G]in [D]gold,
red and brown
Now they've [Em]been trampled
on [F#m]and ridden ov[A]er
And they're just [D]sludge lying around
And I [G]think [A]it's time to
leave this town
[Bm]

[Verse 2]
[Em]The trees whisper [F#m]secrets [A]of
[D]summer's love affai[Bm]r s[D]
Of the [Em]carelessness [F#m]tom foolery
[A]that [D]happened everywhere
But as the [Em]doors close, the wind blows
The [A]city sleeps and the sky weeps
And I [D]know, [Bm]I kn[D]ow
I [G]know it's [A]time to leave this [Bm]town
Oh no, you won't [A]see me
hanging around
[Bm]

[Verse 3]
[Em]But babe I'll be [A]back
When the [Bm]sun starts
to seep [A]through [F#m]the leaves
[A]When I c[G]an sing you a song
As [A]you sing along
On [Bm]these magic berlin [F#m]streets
[A]With our nig[Em]ht riding,
midnight gliding
[D]Morning [A]dancing, pavement prancing
[D]You know, oh, you know
You [A]know I'll be back to leave this [Bm]town
Oh you know I'll be [A]back to love this town
[Bm]
