A6        B6             Emaj7
Babe have you seen those leaves on the ground
          A6                 B6          Emaj7
At first they shone from the pavement in gold
red and brown
             A6                   B6
And they've been trampled on and ridden over
                  Emaj7
And they're just sludge lying around
                  B                  C#m
And I think it's time to leave this town

The trees whisper secrets of summer's love affairs
Of the carelessness tomfoolery that happened
everywhere
But as the doors close
And the wind blows
The city sleeps
And the sky weeps
And I know I know
I know it's time to leave this town
Oh no you won't see me hanging around

But babe I'll be back
When the sun starts to seep through the leaves
When I can sing you a song
As you sing along
On these magic berlin streets
With our night riding
Midnight gliding
Morning dancing
Pavement prancing
You know oh you know
You know I'll be back to live this town
Oh you know I'll be back to love this town
