[G] I don't drink [D] as much as [Em] I used [G] to
[C] They think [D] it just ain't [G] my [D] style
[C] [G] And the hard times [D] don't hurt like [Em] they ought [G] to
[C] They pass quicker [D] like when [F#] I was [G] a child
[C] Somehow [D] I've learned [G] how to listen
For [C] a sound [D] like the sun [Em] going [G] down
[C] And the magic [D] the morning [G] is [C] bringing
And there's [G] a song [D] for the life I [Em] have [G] found
[C] [D] It keeps my feet [G] on the ground
[D]
[G] Don't the midsummer [D] days [Em] get so heavy
[G] But [C] don't they flow [D] like the breeze [G] through your mind
[D]
[G] And nothing [D]
[Em] occurs in a movie
[G]
To [C] make up for [D]
someone's [G] lost time
