[Verse 1]
Ab
I envy the leaves
Abmaj7 Cm6
That grow from the trees
Bbm7
They’re all so carefree
Bbm7b5 Ab
Through the season, unaware of the fall
Ab
If only I’d see (See)
Abmaj7 Cm6
It’s quite easy to be (Be)
Bbm7 Bbm7b5 Ab
A drop in the ocean, with no worries and no questions at all

[Chorus]
Gbdim Db
Why don’t we lie and
Dbm Ab Ab/G F
Act like the best is yet to come?
Db
Why don’t we try that
Eb Ab
Just for once?

[Verse 2]
Ab Abmaj7
I envy the snow (Snow)
Cm6
How it’s blissfully cold (Cold)
Bbm7 Bbm7b5 Ab
The world around it is meltin’, and it still doesn’t know
Ab
It could be so sweet (Sweet, sweet)
Abmaj7 Cm6
If only I were naïve (Naïve)
Bbm7 Bbm7b5 Ab
Enough to believe that I am happy, but still I am not so

[Chorus]
Gbdim Db
Why don’t we lie and
Dbm Ab Ab/G F
Act like the best is yet to come?
Db
Why don’t we try that
Eb Ebm F
Just for once?

[Bridge]
Db Eb
For once
C7 Fm
For once
Eb Db
Why don’t we try
Dbdim Ab Abmaj7
Just for once?
Cm6
Ooh
Bbm7
Ooh
Bbm7b5
Just for once

[Outro]
Abmaj7
I envy the leaves
F7
Trickle from the trees
Db
They’re all so carefree
Dbm
Through the seasons
Ab
They’re all so carefree
Dbm
Through the seasons
Db
Unaware of the fall
