C
Maybe I'm broken, maybe I'm wrong
I could've spoken sooner than I should've
F
Only the good die old
That's what they told me, but I don't know

Am
Maybe I'm breaking up with myself
Maybe I'm thinking
                            G
I should just keep to the things
that I've been told
Wait for the colors to turn to gold

Chorus:
C
Do you know? Do you know?
F
You're all I know, you're all I know
Am
When everything comes crashing down
G
You're all I know, you're all I know

C                  F
I'm ready for the fall
              Am
I'm ready for everything
          G                   C
That I believed in to drift away
               F
Ready for the leaves
               Am
Ready for the colors to burn
    G                 C
to gold and crumble away

Maybe I'm destined to be distraught
Always a reason, breaking me down to my
Knees in the dead of night
I keep on praying to see the light, oh-oh-oh

Maybe I'm breaking up with myself
Maybe I'm thinking
I should just keep to the things
that I've been told
Wait for the colors to turn to gold

Chorus - x2

I'm ready for the fall
I'm ready for everything
That I believed in to drift away
Ready for the leaves
Ready for the colors to burn
to gold and crumble away

             C
You were the one, you were the one
You were the one who helped me see
             F
You were the one, you were the one
Oh, you gave it all to me

You were the one, you were the one
You were the one who helped me see
You were the one, you were the one
Oh, you gave it all to me

You were the one, you were the one
You were the one who helped me see
You were the one, you were the one
Oh, you gave it all to me

You were the one, you were the one
You were the one who helped me see
You were the one, you were the one
Oh, you gave it all to me

You were the one, you were the one
You were the one who helped me see
You were the one, you were the one
Oh, you gave it all to me

You were the one, you were the one
(Do you know? Do you know?)
You were the one who helped me see
(You're all I know, you're all I know)
You were the one, you were the one
(Everything comes crashing down)
Oh, you gave it all to me
(You're all I know, you're all I know)

I'm ready for the fall
Ready for the leaves
Ready for the colors to burn
to gold and crumble away
