[Verse 1]
EmDon't you go lookin' so surprised, baby don't you look so stunned
DDidn't I tell you that a Acold November'd Bmcome
And Ddeliver the leaves from Agreen to red
To Bmblowin' in the wind stone Adead

Well I Emnever used to notice this awful quiet, mmmmh
And Dfall was just the calm before the Anext spring riot, Bmmmmhh
DOf wildflowers and Alunatic rivers -
BmSweat jumping off of the skin of love givers, mF#mmh (in the park)
[Chorus]   
DScattered leaveAs don't Bmlie
DAw' now baby, bAaby, quit your cBmryin'
Like everytDhing that ever mattered, scAit-scat scattered
Like Bmevery love word you heard
But Dthat's just the way when you Awalk your days
In the Bmbeauty of this world
But Dthat's just the way when you Awalk your days
In the Bmbeauty of this world
