Capo: 3rd fret

[Intro]
Am G Fmaj7 Em

[Verse 1]
Am G
From the cradle to the grave
Fmaj7
Destined to break like the waves
Em
Existence is so threatening
Am
It takes a fierce grace to crack us open
G
A moment sat with our sentencing
Fmaj7 Em
And the light comes flooding in, oh, the light comes flooding in
Am
When the leaves fall in the spring

[Chorus]
G
May all the beggars be blessed
Fmaj7
Like angels with anhedonia
Em
We’re all just doing our best
Am
Repeating, “There’s nothing left”
G
That’s why we weed out the wonderers
Fmaj7
Maybe there’s virtue in emptiness
Em
But I still drown in distress
Am
When the leaves fall in the spring

[Verse 2]
G
With the ravens here to stay
Fmaj7
And the doves all flying away
Em
Sedation feels so welcoming
Am
In the subtle space, there’s an endless ocean
G
But the devils sing and it’s deafening
Fmaj7 Em
What a world we’re living in, oh, we’re never listening
Am
When the leaves fall in the spring

[Chorus]
G
May all the beggars be blessed
Fmaj7
Like angels with anhedonia
Em
We’re all just doing our best
Am
Repeating, “There’s nothing left”
G
That’s why we weed out the wonderers
Fmaj7
Maybe there’s virtue in emptiness
Em
But I still drown in distress
C
When the leaves fall in the spring

[Bridge]
G Am
I’ve got a lot to lose, but I won’t lie to you
G C
And make believe sincerity, I’m praying for a remedy
G Am
Beloved distant blue, one day I’ll die for you
G C
And swim in sweet serenity ‘cause death is not my enemy

[Outro]
G Am
I’ve got a lot to lose, but I won’t lie to you
G C
And make believe sincerity, I’m praying for a remedy
G Am
Beloved distant blue, one day I’ll die for you
G C
And swim in sweet serenity ‘cause death is not my enemy
