Intro: (C Em Am C F G7 C G)
Well I (C) don't drink as (G7) much as I (Am) used to
(F) Lately it (G7) just ain't my (C) style (G)
And the (C) hard times don't (Em) hurt like they (Am) ought to
They pass (F) quickly like (G7) when I was a (C) child
An' (F) somehow I've (G7) learned how to (C) listen
For a (F) sound like the (G7) sun goin' (Am) down
In the (F) magic the (G7) mornin' is (C) bring{F}in'
There's a (C) song for the (Em) life I have (Am) found (F)
It keeps my (G7) feet on the (C) ground
An' the mid-summer (Em) days sit so (Am) heavy
But don't they (F) flow like the (G7) breeze through your (C) mind (G)
When (C) nothing' ap{Em}pears in a (Am) hurry
To make (F) up for (G7) someone's lost (C) time
An' (F) somehow I've (G7) learned how to (C) listen
For a (F) sound like the (G7) sun goin' (Am) down
In the (F) magic the (G7) mornin' is (C) bring{F}in'
There's a (C) song for the (Em) life I have (Am) found (F)
It keeps my (G7) feet on the (C) ground
An' (F) somehow I've (G7) learned how to (C) listen
For a (F) sound like the (G7) breeze dyin' (Am) down
In the (F) magic the (G7) mornin' is (C) bring{F}in'
There's a (C) song for the (Em) friend I have (Am) found (F)
She keeps my (G7) feet on the (C) ground (F)
She keeps my (G7) feet on the (C) ground
