        Emaj7
I don't have to be specific when I wanna hug you
    Dmaj7
You had a natural right to be born to become
    Emaj7
Yes heaven must at least become so acceptable to me
         Dmaj7
I'd feel angry had I lost you and can't
imagine where you might be

Chorus:
Dmaj7                              C
Where do baby leaves go when they die
                    Emaj7
Oh, why I do not mourn
Dmaj7
God is a feeling of loving yourself
         C                          Emaj7
You're precious to me, you know that

Stretch in your arms
Wrap 'em 'round tight
Loving myself
With all my might

Chorus

Am
Take a look inside you'll see
E
See how I'm doing
Am
A message, something says to me
Emaj7
Tells me I'm right
Am
So you want a potion to send me away
Emaj7
Daddy, my love, cannot get in today
