Song For The Life(Chords)

	        Intro: C  Em  Am  G  F G Am G
 
Well I (C)don't drink as (Em)much as I (Am)used to(C7) 
(F)Lately it (G7)just ain't my (C)style 
And the (C)hard times don't (Em)hurt like they (Am)ought to(C7) 
They (F)pass quickly like (G)when I was a (C)child 
 
And (F)somehow I've (G)learned how to (C)listen 
For a (F)sound like the (G7)sun goin' (Am)down 
In the (F)magic the (G)mornin' is (C)bringin'(F) 
There's a (C)song for the (Em)life I have (Am)found(C7) 
(F)It keeps my (G7)feet on the (C)ground 
 
And the (C)mid-summer (Em)days sit so (Am)heavy(C7) 
And don't they (F)flow like the (G7)breeze through (C)your mind 
When (C)nothin' (Em)appears in a (Am)hurry(C7) 
To make (F)up for (G)someone's lost (C)time 
 
And (F)somehow I've (G)learned how to (C)listen 
For a (F)sound like the (G7)sun goin' (Am)down 
In the (F)magic the (G)mornin' is (C)bringin'(F) 
There's a (C)song for the (Em)life I have (Am)found(C7) 
(F)It keeps my (G7)feet on the (C)ground 
 
And (F)somehow I've (G)learned how to (C)listen 
For a (F)sound like the (G7)breeze dyin'(Am) down(C7) 
In the (F)magic the (G)mornin' is (C)bringin'(F) 
There's a (C)song for the (Em)friend I have (Am)found(C7) 
(F)She keeps my (G7)feet on the (C)ground 
 
(F)She keeps my (G7)feet on the (C)ground
