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
