[Intro] C Em F D7/F# C/G G7 F C [Verse 1]
         C           Em           F
Theres a leaf that returns in the fall

     Dm           C
That no one can recall

     G7            F     Dm

[tab]    C             Em           F
Its shape once so clear in our mind

      Dm             C
In an instant left behind

         G7               C      C7
When the snow touches the ground
[Chorus]
F     Fm F   B7
Where did it go?

     C/E          F#m7b5
Well someone must know

    C/G E/G# Am    Em F G7
But no  one  makes a  sound
[Post-Chorus]
          C         E7             F
There's a leaf that returns in the fall

That no one can recall

     G7            C     F
When winter comes around
[Verse 2]
          C       Em        F
There's a voice divides the flame

         Dm                 C/G
Sends it back from where it came

       G7            F     Dm
To the cradle of its birth

C            Em        F
Grief has consumed our eyes

    Dm                  C/G
And filled our bed with lies

     G7             C     C7
Like soil fills the earth
[Chorus]
 F   Fm  F   B7
Abandoned, denied

       C/E             F#m7b5
Like a dead man out of mind

C/G E/G# Am     Em  F G7
No  one  trails the purse
[Post-Chorus]
          C       E7        F
There's a voice divides the flame

         D7/F#              C/G
Sends it back from where it came

       G7            C
To the cradle of its birth
[Bridge]
Gm C7        Bb/F  F Fdim F
Go back from where you came

D7                     G        G7
Though you're bound to wake up again

C Em F Dm C/G G7 F Dm
Now

C E7 F D7/F# C/G G7 C F
Ahh
[Verse 3]
          C      Em       F
There's a sea so deep and wide

   Dm                C/G
It speaks from every side

   G7              F    Dm
So all the sailors hear

    C         Em      F
Its time to return to shore

        Dm          C/G
I can't hold you anymore

         G7              C    C7
But they come back every year
[Chorus]
F  Fm  F   B7        C/E    F#m7b5
Swallowed alive by a rising tide

   C/G E/G# Am Em  F G7
As if  it   wasn't clear
[Post-Chorus]

So all the sailors hear
[Chorus]
F   Fm  F  B7         C/E    F#m7b5
Swallowed alive by a rising tide

      C/G E/G# Am  Em  F  G7
Their bodies   wet and drowned
[Post-Chorus]
          C           E7           F
There's a leaf that returns in the fall

     D7/F#        C/G
That no one can recall

     G7            C
When winter comes around
[Outro]
C E7 F D7/F# C/G G7 C
