C G
When we were greened and young as shoots
C G/B Am7
The world took off beneath our boots
F G
Oh we were picked when we were young
C G.....
Gentle words and modesty
C G
When we turned towards the tide
C G/B Am7
Choirs screamed in their delight
F G
Oh I am ripe and ready now
C G/B Am7
My heart is heavy, it's going to fall
F G C C7
Out of my body
F G
Unto love, unto love
C G/B Am7
Oh my heart is heavy, it's going to fall
F G C....
Out of my body
C G
Would have died without
C G/B Am7
Your gardens of eternal life
F G C.....
That you kept so well, kept so well
C G
Could have lived without
C G/B Am7
The fall into the tragedy
F G
But I'm not Adam, and you're not Eve
C G/B Am7
They were brave enough to leave
F G C C7
When they were told, leave it behind
F G
Leave it behind, it behind
C G/B Am7
They were brave enough to leave
F G C....
When they were told, leave it behind
(Interlude)

Leave it behind, it behind
C G/B Am7
They were brave enough to leave
F G C.....
When they were told, leave it behind
