Standard (EADGBE)

2x

Leaves were falling, down like embers,

 In colors red and gold, they set us on fire

 Burning just like moonbeams in our eyes.

Somebody said they saw me, swinging the world by the tail

 Bouncing over a white cloud, killing the blues.

Now I'm guilty of something...

I hope you never do

 Because there is nothing

 Any sadder than losing yourself in love.

Somebody said they saw me, swinging the world by the tail

 Bouncing over a white cloud, killing the blues.

 Before you ask me... just to leave you

To run out on my own

 And get what I need to

 You want me to find what I've already had.

Somebody said they saw me, swinging the world by the tail

 Bouncing over a white cloud, killing the blues.

Somebody said they saw me, I was swinging the world by the tail

 Bouncing over a white cloud, killing the blues.
