AEm You look at me with uncertainty GD you look at me with urgency AEm you look at me with a fear in your eyes GD like you're about to fall away
(follow pattern)
But don't be afread to change your colours now I've known you all summer, and you rose above it all I see you hesitate to fall now but it's a pretty good view from down here, too
AEm And when the wind takes you, it takes me, too GD when you change colours, I change mine too AEm try not to think, and I will try too GD and when you let go I will let go too
I knew you when you were green and strong you were like a feather on a wing so long You know I will miss you whne you are gone But don't be afraid if you just can't hang on
Cause when the wind takes you it takes me too when you change colours i change mine too Try not to think and I will try too and when you let go I will let go too
SOLO PART (key change)

(back to AEmGD) The cold air is pushing hard on you I know what you're saying I can feel it too You'll go through changes and I'll go through them too Don't be afraid now, don't be afraid
Cause when the wind takes you it takes me too when you change colours i change mine too Try not to think and I will try too and when you let go I will let go too
