  G              G/F#      Em      G7    
I don't drink as much as I used to,      
C         D             G       D7 
Lately it just ain't my style. 
        G                G/F#           Em         G7 
And the hard times don't hurt like they ought to, 
          C            D            G        G 
They pass quickly like when I was a child. 

C            D              G        G 
Somehow I've learned how to listen 
      C              D         Em    G7  
For a sound like the sun going down. 
       C         D          G    C 
In the magic the morning is bringing,  
          G            G/F#        Em       G7 
There's a song for the life I have found. 
C               D           G         D7 
    It keeps my feet on the ground. 

          G         G/F#        Em     G7 
Don't the midsummer days sit so heavy. 
               C           D                   G       D7 
But don't they flow like a breeze through your mind. 
    G         G/F#      Em      G7 
And nothing occurs in a hurry  
   C           D              G        G 
To make up for someone's lost time. 

C            D              G        G 
Somehow I've learned how to listen  
      C              D         Em     G7 
For a sound like the sun going down. 
       C         D          G    C 
In the magic the morning is bringing,  
          G            G/F#          Em     G7 
There's a song for the friend I have found. 
C                D           G         D7 
    She keeps my feet on the ground. 

G   G/F#   Em   G7    
C   D      G    D7 
G   G/F#   Em   G7 
C   D      G    G 

C            D              G       G   
Somehow I've learned how to listen  
      C              D            Em     G7 
For a sound like the breeze dying down. 
       C         D          G    C 
In the magic the morning is bringing,  
          G            G/F#        Em 
There's a song for the life I have found. 
C              D           G        G/F#   Em   G7    
   It keeps my feet on the ground.  
C              D           G          
   It keeps my feet on the ground.
