[Verse 1]
D F#m
Autumn leaves are falling 'round us

Time to gather all those many thoughts

Or gained at such a cost
[Verse 2]
Bm D C#m A
For some of us there's endless hoping
Bm D C#m A
For some of us a craziness, too
Bm D C#m
Holding onto better reasons

Works for me and you, you know it's true

And when the stakes are higher
E
Never play with fire
D F#m
Leave it alone

Walked into a castle ruin
F#m D E A
Of gentry that had fled
[Verse 4]

For some of them had endless hoping
Bm D C#m A
Some of them crazy, too

Holding onto better reasons

Those trees will tumble down on a stormy day
A D A D F#m
And those leaves will fade away, fade away

As the ground has turned to frost
