Scattered Leaves

[Em]Don't you go lookin' so surprised, baby don't you look so stunned
[D]Didn't I tell you that a cold Nov[A]ember'd come               [Bm]
[D]And deliver the leaves from green to red    [A]
[Bm]To blowin' in the wind stone dead    [A]

[Em]Well I never used to notice this awful quiet, mmmmh
[D]And fall was just the calm before the next spring riot, mm[A]mhh                       [Bm]
[D]Of wildflowers and lunatic rivers [A]-
[Bm]Sweat jumping off of the skin of love givers, mmh (in the park)     [A]

[D]Scattered leaves don't [A]lie       [Bm]
[D]Aw' now baby, baby, qui[A]t your cryin'          [Bm]
[D]Like everything that ever mattered, scit-scat scattere[A]d
[Bm]Like every love word you heard
[D]But that's just the way when you walk your days    [A]
[Bm]In the beauty of this world
(repeat)

[Em]pretty little disappointments all in a row
[D]Been about a year since you disappeared thr[A]ough my door                         [Bm]
[D]And now you come back with your head on straight,      [A]
[Bm]But I got no love or hate left for you, girl           [A]

[Em]You must be the daughter of the late, late rose - I'm November's
[Em]son
[D]And I'm here to tell you, honey, ooh what's done[A] is done                     [Bm]
[D]Yeah, I been claimed by the wind and the rai[A]n
[Bm]There ain't no going back, naw there ain't no going back again (for us now)                                                         [A]

[D]Scattered leaves don't [A]lie       [Bm]
[D]Aw' now baby, baby, qui[A]t your cryin'          [Bm]
[D]Like everything that ever mattered, scit-scat scattere[A]d
[Bm]Like every love word you heard
[D]But that's just the way when you walk your days    [A]
[Bm]In the beauty of this world
