Owl City - The Real World: chords

C#        D#m
I saw the autumn leaves,
 C#/F             F#
Peel up off the street,
C#                G#/C
Take wing on the balmy breeze,
      F#                G#
And sweep you off your feet,
C#                        D#m
And you blushed as they scooped you up,
    C#/F        F#
On sugar maple wings,
C#                   G#/C
To gaze down on the city below,
  F#                   G#
Ablaze with wondrous things,

Chorus:
A#m            G#        F#
Downy feathers kiss your face,
            G#
And flutter everywhere,
A#m           G#      F#
Reality is a lovely place,
       G#                   C# D#m C#/F
But I wouldn't wanna live there,
   F#                   C# G#/C F# G#
I wouldn't wanna live there,

Weighed down by heavy lids
And lunar lullabies
I knew you were wide awake
'Cause you smile with your eyes

Downy feathers kiss your face
and flutter everywhere
Reality is a lovely place but
I wouldn't wanna live there

C#                  F#
From the green belt balcony,
A#m            G#
The wildfires look so pretty,
C#         F#
Ponderosa canopy,
    A#m           G#
I'd never leave if it were up to me,
C#           G#
To the ruby redwood tree,
D#m                F#
And to the velvet climbing ivy,
C#            F#
Painted all mahogany,
     A#m              G#         F#
I'd never leave if it were up to me,
If it were up to me,

F#             G#
With a starry brush,
                          F#
Paint the dusk Venetian blue,
                       G#
'Cause in the evening hush,
                C#        F#
You'll never believe the view,
                       G#
And when the leaves return,
                               F#
And their whisperings fill the night,
                    G#
They'll freeze and burn,
                      C# D#m C#/F
Where fire and ice collide,
       F#             C#   G#/C F# G#
Where fire and ice collide,

Chorus:
Can you feel a silk embrace in the satin air?
If we dissolve without a trace
Will the real world even care?
Downy feathers kiss your face and
flutter everywhere
Reality is a lovely place but
I wouldn't wanna live there
I wouldn't wanna live there

I saw the autumn leaves
Peel up off the street
Take wing on a balmy breeze
And sweep you off your feet
