 Dm              C6
Water comes and water goes
  F              A#maj7          A
Where it ends up no one really knows
Dm            C6
Water rises, water falls
F                   A#                F6
Where it comes from no one knows for sure
    Em7              Dm G Dm G
It seeps from every pore

Dm               C6
We have seen the rain before
 F                     A#             A
Not like this - It's flooding every shore
 Dm              C
People come and people go
F                 A#                   F
I can hear their laughter through the door
     A               A#maj7
But no one's keeping score

Chorus:
           C6
Oranges on apple trees
Am7                   Dm
Birds that mate with bumblebees
A#maj7        C6
One big happy family
Am7           Dm     C6
Endless possibilities
A#         C
Oranges and apple trees
          Dm  G  Dm  G
(Yeah and more)

I see your face in front of me
You believed what no one else could see
I feel it deep inside of me
Everything we love shall be released
And everyone will see

Yeah
(Oranges on apple trees) for sure

I used to be the only one
Not now since you've come
You and I have seen the signs
That's why we're running blind
We're running blind
That's why

Chorus:
(Oranges on apple trees)
(Birds that mate with bumblebees) yeah
(Endless possibilities) now

(Oranges on apple trees)
(All the things that we can see) yeah, yeah
(Multi-gender wannabes)

(Oranges on apple trees)
(Bugs that mate with bumblebees)
One big happy family
Endless possibilities, oh, yeah, yeah
(Oranges on apple trees (for sure)
