^CSilver couplets are underneath the branches ^EmOf a wilted maple, raking up the leaves ^FTrying find my head, must’ve been out here Buried it with the memories of mom and dad

^CSlipped through one of my hands, never got too bad ^EmBut this one’s worse Still remember jumping i^Fn the leaves We were merely children, not anything more Just learned to drink away our pain ^CAnd it’s a shame, heard you rode in the back seat ^EmAll the way to long beach Remember the days you were ^Fdriving You and I were in a mess I guess we all fall with our sins, we never wanted ^CFind some solace, at least a little piece of mind ^EmI know I’m wasting away this time If you ^Ffocus hard enough on the smoke, from my cigarette I think that I see heaven

^CSilver couplets are underneath the branches ---> From here on out go for full chords rather than picking ^EmOf wilted maples, raking up the leaves ^FTrying to find my head, must’ve been here Buried with the memories

^CSlipped through my hands, I know ^Emthose wise words Oh I know, I know ^FWe all fall down, by tumbling down Can’t seem to catch your fall ^CAnd it’s a shame Heard you rode in the back seat ^EmAll the way, remember the days you were ^Fdriving But you and I were in a mess I guess we all fall with our sins, we never wanted ^CFind some solace, at least a little piece of mind ^EmI know I’m wasting away this time ^FIf you focus hard enough on the smoke from my cigarette I think that I see heaven

^EmI can’t blame you for the ^Amthings that occurred Cause they’re ^Call in my head I know that’s wrong, I know thats wr^Gong now ^FAnd I’m sorry, at least that’s what I^C think I say Or I’d hoped ^Gyou’d say ^FAnd I’m sorry, at least that’s what I^C think I say Or I’d hoped ^Gyou’d say ^FAnd I’m sorry, at least that’s what I^C think I say Or I’d hoped ^Gyou’d say
