Leaves Chords & Lyrics Artist: Phish

VERSE 1
G                                Bm
Someone's always telling me to breathe
G                                         Bm
The wind is always whispering through the leaves
C
It sings to the world
F
They cling to the world
D        C       G
I listen and believe
 
 
VERSE 2
G                                 Bm
The music stops and echoes linger on
Bm
(The secret to the kingdom was conferred)
G                                    Bm
I’m waiting 'til you sing me one more song
 Bm
(The messenger revealed the ruler's—)
C
You promised the moon
F
But I need a tune
D             C      G
For notes are rarely wrong
 
 
CHORUS
Em                        D
We built a kingdom out of lies
                               F
And then we blindly fanned the fire
                                 C
We warmed our hands with glowing coals
                                Em
But now they rain down from the skies
                        D
Rising volume, muffled moans
                          F
Thoughts conveyed in undertones
                          C     D
We built a kingdom out of lies
 
 
VERSE 3
G                              Bm
Moonlight dances softly on the leaves
 Bm
(Moonlight dances softly on the leaves)
G                                Bm
A message in the pattern that it weaves
Bm
(Message in the pattern that it weaves)
C
It urges me now
F
It’s pleading somehow
D       C     G       F
Telling me to breathe
