It's the leaves in autumn

And the bird in flight
         Ami          Dmi           G
It's the world you're seeing in the dead of the night
     C
It's north on your compass

And the wind in your sails
       Ami                   Dmi      G
Or the forward movement when all else fails

             F     G    C       Ami  C F
Oh, it's the empty chamber of a loaded gun
         F      G         C    Ami   C
It's the finish line of a race half run

             F           G            Ami   C         F
Oh, it's the breath to a candle whose flame won't burn
                               C
And if it's all of these things
                 Ami
Why wouldn't you want it
     C
That much
     C
At all

It's the snow in winter

And the lion's roar
       Ami                             Dmi        G
Or the moves you're making when you're hungry for more
             C
Oh, it's the smell of your best friend and the time it takes
   Ami                   Dmi       G
To know for sure if your heart can break


             F     G    C       Ami  C F
Oh, it's the empty chamber of a loaded gun
         F      G         C    Ami   C
It's the finish line of a race half run

             F           G            Ami   C         F
Oh, it's the breath to a candle whose flame won't burn
                               C
And if it's all of these things
                 Ami
Why wouldn't you want it
     C
That much

At all
