Intro: G Cadd9 (4x)  

G 
I was spinning through the air 
                            Em 
when I thought my life was ending, 
            C 
but I was really on the ground and 
D                                  G 
you were lying right there next to me. 
G 
I looked right into your eyes 
                          Em 
and I found myself pretending 
              C 
that we were high above the canopy 
       D                         G 
but tethered to the trunk of a tree. 



C                D        Em 
Slow down, take time, and see 
       G             C 
the forest for the leaves. 
C           D           Em 
I know that I, should practice 
       C  D  G 
what I preach 


G 
I was falling to the ground 
                    Em 
when I felt my body breaking, 
             C 
but I had fallen in your lap 
      D 
with my head tilted back so I can see 
G 
the sun eclipsed by your hair 
                   Em 
that left a halo hanging 
           C 
Waiting above so when you go 
D                                    G 
you wont have to wait to get your wings 


C                D        Em 
Slow down, take time, and see 
       G             C 
the forest for the leaves. 
C           D            Em 
I know that I, should practice 
       C D  G 
what I preach
