Tom: C
G
I spent most of my life
D
Waiting for what happens after I die
Am
Freedom we sang and I tried to obey
D
While the butterflies danced in the wind
G
I spent most of my nights
D
Begging forgiveness for being alive
Am
Tension prevailed in my stuttered exhale
D
While the songbird sang effortlessly
[Chorus]
G
If you love her
D
Reach out and love her
Am Em
Don't fight your own skin
C
It was made to be lived in
G
If you're changing
D
Just look around you
Am Em
It's magic, isn't it
C F
When leaves turn green to red
[Verse 2]
G
I grew into my life
D
Shеdding my shackles one shame at a time
Am
Lighter I felt holding hands with myself
D
While the summer heat cooled to a breeze
G
So I married a girl
D
And mourned when my family fell from my world
Am
And when our neighbors cut down all the pines 'round their house
D
My wife cried so we planted some more
And the songbird sang reverently
[Chorus]
G
If you love her
D
Reach out and love her
Am Em
Don't fight your own skin
C
It was made to be lived in
G
If you're changing
D
Just look around you
Am Em
It's magic, isn't it
C F
When leaves turn green to red
G D
Mi chamochah baelim
Am Em D
Adonai, oh Adonai
G D
Mi kamochah nedar
Am Em D
Bakodesh, bakodesh
F C
Nora t'hilot
G
Oseih fele
[Outro]
If you're changing
D
Congratulations
Am Em
Now what will you do?
C
Your life is up to you
