This is pretty much my first tab from scratch, so it might not be perfect but it sounds as best as I could make it! Enjoy. [INTRO] C Dm Am7 F C Dm F G [VERSE 1]
C           Dm
I saw the autumn leaves

Am7               F
Peel up off the street

C                 Dm
Take wing on the balmy breeze

      F                  G
And sweep you off your feet

C                   Dm
And you blushed as they scooped you up

    Am7          F
On sugar maple wings

C                     Dm
To gaze down on the city below

F                      G
Ablaze with wondrous things
[CHORUS]
Am               G        F
Downy feathers kiss your face

       G
And flutter everywhere

Am             G      F
Reality is a lovely place

         G
But I wouldn't wanna live there

C Dm Am7 F
         I wouldn't wanna live there
C Dm F G [VERSE 2]
C                 Dm
Weighed down by heavy lids

     Am7     F
And lunar lullabies

C                Dm
I knew you were wide awake

            F                G
'Cause you smile with your eyes
[CHORUS]
Am               G        F
Downy feathers kiss your face

       G
And flutter everywhere

Am             G      F
Reality is a lovely place

         G
But I wouldn't wanna live there
[BRIDGE]
C                     Dm
From the green belt balcony

Am7                     F
The wildfires look so pretty

C           Dm
Ponderosa canopy

      F            G
I'd never leave if it were up to me

C             Dm
To the ruby redwood tree

Am7                  F
And to the velvet climbing ivy

C               Dm
Painted all mahogany

      F            G             C
I'd never leave if it were up to me
(If it were up to me)
F                   G
With a starry brush

                          F
Paint the dusk venetian blue

                           G
'Cause in the evening hush

               C           F
You'll never believe the view

                           G
And when the leaves return

                                 F
And their whisperings fill the night

                        G
They'll freeze and burn

                      C
Where fire and ice collide

C Dm Am7 F
         Where fire and ice collide
C Dm F G [CHORUS 2 & 1]
Am              G      F
Can you feel a silk embrace

         G
In the satin air?

Am               G         F
If we dissolve without a trace

          G
Will the real world even care?

Am               G        F
Downy feathers kiss your face

       G
And flutter everywhere

Am             G      F
Reality is a lovely place

         G
But I wouldn't wanna live there

C Dm Am7 F
         I wouldn't wanna live there
C Dm F G [OUTRO]
C           Dm
I saw the autumn leaves

Am7               F
Peel up off the street

C                 Dm
Take wing on the balmy breeze

      F                  G
And sweep you off your feet...
