Leaves and Kings Josh Ritter
[C]I met you at a [Am]party
[C]or on a crowded [Am]street
[C]a silent singula[Am]rity
[F]when glances chanced to [G]meet
[C]You looked into my gla[Am]sses
[C]said you'd seen a g[Am]host
[C]tried my best to make[Am] you smile
[F]as we calypsoed [G]close
[C]I had been to Cl[Am]eveland
[C]You had been to j[Am]ail
[C]You seemed to be r[Am]ecovering
[F]but I felt a little [G]pale
[C]Our house it was on s[Am]eventeenth
[C]above the hardware [Am]store
[C]there we lived with se[Am]ven cats
[F]all named for in sev[G]en dwarves
[F]but like leaves and k[G]ings
[F]all things must f[C]all
[F]no diamond ring is go[G]nna
[F]cut through it a[C]ll
[C]you were working as a g[Am]raverobber
[C]you could do your job at n[Am]ight
[C]I was living hand-to-m[Am]outh
[F]just looking for a [G]fight
[C]the reason why we [Am]parted
[C]it ain't that hard to [Am]find
[C]I was always bus[Am]y
[F]and you never had the [G]time
[C]well the reason why we [Am]parted
[C]it ain't that hard to [Am]see
[C]but I was never s[Am]ure
[F]if I left you or you left[G] me
[F]but like leaves and [G]kings
[F]all things must f[C]all
[F]no diamond ring is [G]gonna
[F]cut through it a[C]ll
(harmonica)
[C]and when it was all [Am]over
[C]I lost myself in [Am]work
[C]you got married to a [Am]lawyer
[F]painting murals in new [G]york
[C]and though it seems a millio[Am]n miles ago
[C]since I saw the l[Am]ight
[C]the hours flowed by n[Am]ervously
[F]like warships in the [G]night
[C]Many times I've been [Am]corrupted
[C]but I've never been in[Am] love
[C]and I began to rea[Am]lize
[F]that that's just where I [G]was
[C]so I packed up my p[Am]ossessions
[C]and caught an eastbound [Am]train
[C]met you in oh[Am]io
[F]sleeping in the ra[G]in
[F]but like leaves and [G]kings
[F]all things must f[C]all
[F]no diamond ring is [G]gonna
[F]cut through it a[C]ll
[C]so now we're going back a[Am]gain
[C]to start where we [Am]began
[C]with rules and regu[Am]lations
[F]but no real kinda p[G]lan
[C]I learned my lesson [Am]well
[C]with no mistakes at a[Am]ll
[C]once you find yourself true [Am]love
[F]you just keep holding [G]on
[F]like leaves and king[G]s
[F]all things must f[C]all
[F]no diamond ring is [G]gonna
[F]cut through it a[C]ll
[F]but now out of t[G]he dark
[F]out of the b[G]lue
[F]like leaves and k[G]ings
[F]I've fallen in love with yo[C]u
