Eb
Leaves are fallin' down on the beautiful ground
Cm
I heard a story from the man in red
Eb
He said "The leaves are fallin' down

Such a beautiful sound
Cm
Son, I think you'd better go ahead
Eb
But you always hold your head up high
Cm
'Cause it's a long, long, long way down
Eb
This town was meant for passing through

Boy it ain't nothin' new
Cm
Now go and show 'em that the world stayed round
Ab Gm Fm Eb Eb Ab Gm Bb
But it's a long, long, long way down
Eb
You better run for the hills

Before they burn
Cm
Listen to the sound of the world

Don't watch it turn
Fm Gm
I just want to show you what I know
Ab
And catch you when the current
Bb
Lets you go
Eb
Or should I just get along with myself
Cm
I never did get along with everybody else

I've been tryin' hard to do what's right

But you know I could stay here, all night

And watch the clouds fall from the sky

Now Adam's taking bombs and he's stuck on his mom

Because that bitch keeps tryin' to make him pray

Just tryin' to get some of that little-girl play

This river is wild

And cars are everywhere
Raisin' dust at the fairground
I don't think I ever seen so many headlights
But there's somethin' pullin' me
The circus and the crew
Well they're just passin' through
Makin' sure the merry still goes 'round
But it's a long, long, long way down
