Silver Couplets

	  		Intro: C - Em 

C 
Silver couplets are underneath the branches 
Em 
Of a wilted maple, raking up the leaves 
F 
Trying find my head, must’ve been out here 
Buried it with the memories of mom and dad 

C 
Slipped through one of my hands, never got too bad 
Em 
But this one’s worse 
                        F 
Still remember jumping in the leaves 
We were merely children, not anything more 
Just learned to drink away our pain 
C 
And it’s a shame, heard you rode in the back seat 
Em 
All the way to long beach 
                           F 
Remember the days you were driving 
You and I were in a mess 
I guess we all fall with our sins, we never wanted 
C 
Find some solace, at least a little piece of mind 
Em 
I know I’m wasting away this time 
       F 
If you focus hard enough on the smoke, from my cigarette 
I think that I see heaven 

Em                        Am 
I can’t blame you for the things that occurred 
              C 
Cause they’re all in my head 
                                    G 
I know that’s wrong, I know thats wrong now 
F                                    C 
And I’m sorry, at least that’s what I think I say 
             G 
Or I’d hoped you’d say 


C 
Silver couplets are underneath the branches   ---> From here on out go for full chords rather than picking 
Em 
Of wilted maples, raking up the leaves 
F 
Trying to find my head, must’ve been here 
Buried with the memories 

C                                Em 
Slipped through my hands, I know those wise words 
Oh I know, I know 
F 
We all fall down, by tumbling down 
Can’t seem to catch your fall 
C 
And it’s a shame 
Heard you rode in the back seat  
Em                                      F 
All the way, remember the days you were driving 
But you and I were in a mess 
I guess we all fall with our sins, we never wanted 
C 
Find some solace, at least a little piece of mind 
Em 
I know I’m wasting away this time 
F

I think that I see heaven
