E    G#m C#m
Please
                  E  G#m C#m
don't change for me
   E            G#m         C#m          E
I never wanted this in the first place, you
 G#m C#m
see

Please,
walk on that
The closer I get to you I lose my mind

Chorus:
    A                B
I thought I saw you today
    E   B/D#     C#m
But nobody was there
    A                B
I thought I saw you today
     E  B/D#     C#m
But nobody was there

Do me a favor and I'll return it later
That's what we said when we were young
The coward lying inside me was still rising
And it's hard to say, just what I become

You keep the shuffle and move around those muscles
Until you feel, a weight coming off
The constant action they're moving and
they're passing
Autumn leaves, they have just begun

Chorus:
I thought I saw you today
But nobody was there
I thought I saw you today
But nobody was there
And the autumn leaves are falling
I cannot find my way
And the autumn leaves are falling
I cannot find my place

A                      B
What are you talking about now?
A                      B
What are you talking about?
(I don't need to know)
A                      B
What are you talking about now?
(I don't need to know)
A                      B
What are you talking about?
