[Intro 1]
[C][Dm][C][F][C][Dm][F][G][C]

[Verse 1]
I saw the
[F]autum[Dm] n le[F]aves pee[Dm]l up [C]off the street,[F]
[C]Take wing on [F]the balmy [Dm]breeze [F]and
sweep you off your [G]feet.[C]
And you blushed [Dm]as they scooped
you up on [F]sugar [C]maple [F]wings,
[C]To gaze down on the[Dm] city be [C]low[F],
ablaze with wondrous [G]things.[Am]
Downy feathers [G]kiss your face
[F]and flutter eve[G]rywhere.
[Am]Reality is a lov[G]ely plac[F]e but I woul[G]dn't
want to live [C]there.[Dm][C]
[F]I wouldn't wanna live there.
[C][Dm][F][G][C]

[Verse 2]
Weighed down by [Dm]heavy lids
and [C]lunar [F]lulla[C]bies,
I knew you were [Dm]wide [F]awake because
you smile with your [G]eyes.[Am]
Downy feathers [G]kiss your face
[F]and flutter eve[G]rywhere.
[Am]Reality is a lovel[G]y plac[F]e but I
[G]wouldn't want to live [C]there.
From the green belt [F]balcony,
[Am]the wildfires look so pr[G]et[C]ty.
Ponderosa [F]canopy,
I'd [Am]never leave if [G]it were up to me.
[C]To the ruby red[G]wood tree,
[Dm]and to the velvet clim[F]bing i[C]vy:
Painted all ma[F]hogany,
I'd [Am]never leave if [G]it were up to [F]me.

[Interlude 1]
[C][F][C][F]

[Verse 3]
With [F]a starry [G]brush,
paint the dusk [F]Venetian blue,
Because in the evening [G]hush,
you'll never be[Am]lieve [F]the view.
And when the leaves re[G]turn and their
whisperings fill [F]the night,
They'll freeze and [G]burn where fire
and [Am]ice coll[C]ide.[Dm][C]
Where [F]fire and ice collide.
[C][Dm][F][G][Am]

[Verse 4]
Can you feel a
[G]silk em[F]brace in [G]the satin air?
[Am]If we dissolve witho[G]ut a trace,
[F]will the rea[G]l world even care?
[Am]Downy feathers [G]kiss your face
[F]and flutter eve[G]rywhere.
[Am]Reality is a lovel[G]y plac[F]e but I would
[G]n't want to live [C]there.[Dm][C]
I [F]wouldn't want to live there.
[C][Dm][F][G][C]

[Verse 5]
I saw the [Dm]autumn leaves
[F]peel [C]up off the [F]street,
[C]Take wing on the[Dm] balmy breeze
[F]and sweep you off your feet
