verse 1: 
    Am               C    Dm               E7            Am 
        Leaves fall     in the cool October air 
                  C        Dm          E7                 Am 
        Days grow short     and I can't remember where 
                  C    Dm           E7                     Am 
        I saw you last     turned against the summer light 
                C   Dm                E7             F 
        Walking off     on that final August night 
              F            Fm              Fm          C 
        I was there     on my knees, all alone

             Am           Dm*                     Fm                    C 
        In a world     where nothing ever stays the same 
             Am          Dm*                Fm                C 
        I am left     with only things I cannot change 
               Am     Dm               Fm               C        C* 
        You've gone  away  and left me things I cannot change

verse 2: 
     Am                   C        Dm            E7                Am 
        Smoke will rise     and the fire always burns 
                   C         Dm                    E7                     Am 
        Sands will drift     and tides will turn and I can't wrestle 
                 C   Dm             E7                      Am 
        with the sea     rearrange the sky or fight 
                    C         Dm         E7                 F 
        against the wind     any more than I can bring 
        F      Fm   Fm              C 
           you back     to me

        In a world     where nothing ever stays the same 
             Am          Dm*                Fm                C 
        I am left     with only things I cannot change 
               Am     Dm               Fm               C        C

           Am         Dm                  Fm                  C 
        So far  away  and left me things I cannot change
