mama , it is raining leaves , it’s snowing leaves , they’re falling down ,
A D
i love the way she says that and , i love this part of town .
G C
i love being surrounded by so many kinds of trees ,
A D
october on the west side reminds me to fall back east ,
G C
’cept i don’t feel like falling for , the feeling that i’ve gotta fall ,
A D
i feel like standing tall , and getting all of my ducks in a row ,
G C
i’m sure some times i’ll waver , but i’ll savour good intentions
A D
i know , that progress not perfection is the only way to go

G
if i wanna grow ,
C
gotta prove my soul ,
A
shed the leaves ,
D
’til i Am wet and naked , cold and rainy ,
G C
so , there’s room for those ,
A
things that wanna grow ,
D
that are beautiful , new and amazing .

G
the days that seem ,
C
the most dreary ,
A D
are perfect for being creative and cosy ,
G
as long as we sing ,
C
until the spring ,
A
this winter can be ,
D
a most magical thing ,
G
and our trunks will be ,
C
solid and strong ,
A
even after ,
D
the leaves are all gone ,
G
and our trunks will be ,
C
solid and strong ,
A
even after ,
D
the leaves are all gone .

G C
mama , it is raining leaves , it’s snowing leaves , they’re falling down ,
A D
i love the way she says that and , i love this part of town .
