[Verse 1]
If I could speak to the breezeC  
What would she teach?
I'd ask politely for peaceBm  
Or some guidance at Bm7least
Perhaps she'd tell me to leaveAm7  
Conceal the secrets in the air that I Bm7breatheBm  
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could speak to the seCmaj7a
What would she preach?
I'd ask her Cwhat does it meaBm7n
To know the depths of bBmelief?
Perhaps she'd guide me benAm7eath
Reveal the meaning in the fathoms unBmseen
[Chorus]
Then they'd say rGealiCty
Was never for Bmme
GRealiAm7ty
Was never for Bm7me, never for me
[Verse 2]
BmIf I could spAeak to the Ctrees
What would they plea?
I'd watch the wind thieve their Bmseeds
Lend them moments to grieve
Perhaps they'd bleed just like Am7me
Deliver their message in the words that I Bm7read
[Pre-Chorus]
BmIf I could speak to the lCeaves
What would they hCmaj7eed?
I'd ask them wChat do they sBm7eek
As they desBmcend from the tGrees
Perhaps they'd rest at my fAm7eet
Administer healing in the tea that I dBm7rink
[Chorus]
BmThen they'd say GrealiCty
Was never for meBm  
RealiAm7ty
Was never for mBm7e, never for BmmeC  
[Verse 3]
How am I to underEmstand
Everything DI am
If I don't look beyond the thoughts I Chave?
Learning that it takes some tEmime
To separate the mDind
And I just wonder, noCw
If all that I have ever kEmnown
Is all that I was ever sDhown
Questioning who sees behind these eCyes
Maybe if I find a reEmason
That lasts beyond the seDasons
I'd ask if GrealiCty

If I could see the sCupreme

He'd ask me Bmto take a sAmeat
Pour us a drink

I'd ask politely for peace

Bm7

Or some guidance at least

Am7

Perhaps she'd tell me to leave

Bm7 Bm

Conceal the secrets in the air that I breathe

[Pre-Chorus]

Cmaj7

If I could speak to the sea

What would she preach?

C Bm7

I'd ask her what does it mean

To know the depths of belief?

Perhaps she'd guide me beneath

Reveal the meaning in the fathoms unseen

[Chorus]

G C

Then they'd say reality

Was never for me

G Am7

Reality

Bm7

Was never for me, never for me

[Verse 2]

Deliver their message in the words that I read

[Pre-Chorus]

Bm C

If I could speak to the leaves

[Verse 3]

How am I to understand

Everything I am

If I don't look beyond the thoughts I have?

Learning that it takes some time

To separate the mind

And I just wonder, now

If all that I have ever known

Is all that I was ever shown

Questioning who sees behind these eyes

Maybe if I find a reason

That lasts beyond the seasons

G C

I'd ask if reality

Was ever for me

Am7 Am

Reality (Ah-Oh)

Was never for me, never for me

[Outro]

If I could see the supreme

What would he think?

If he stood in front of me

Would I believe?

Bm Am

He'd ask me to take a seat

Pour us a drink

And show me all I could be
