We Are But Falling Leaves

Em            Esus4           Asus4
Think of your lifetime as one day
     Am      C                 B
It's fading away, the shadows are growing long
Em          Esus4       Asus4
Think of existence as a flame
    Am           C                 B
And death as rainstorm clouds they ride along

[Pre-Chorus]

C             Em
At life's eve our flames will cease
C          Em
Eternally, unavoidably
C          G              B
Eventually all paths will lead
B
To the cemetery

[Chorus]
B          Em         B          C            G
We are but falling leaves in the air hovering down
Em         B      C        G  D
On our way we are spinning around
Em         B           C         G            C
Scattered fragments of time Like beams of the light
C  B      C             B
we are... That's all we are...

[Verse]
Em            Esus4           Asus4
Think of your lifetime as one year
     Am             C
Look autumn is here getting colder
    B
The winter's impending
Em        Esus4           Asus4    Am
Your conclusion's drawing near-certain, austere
C            B
Yes only the circle's unending

[Pre-Chorus]

C             Em
At life's eve our flames will cease
C          Em
Eternally, unavoidably
C           G              B
Eventually, all paths will lead to the cemetery
                 Am
To the prior deceased

We are but falling leaves in the air hovering down
Em         B       C       G  D
On our way we will hit the ground
Em        B            C          G            C
Scattered fragments of time, like beams of the light
C  B
we are..

Just when we realize that we are alive, we die
