Tuning: E A D G B E

[Intro] D A Bm D G A Bm A [Verse 1]

Well ^DI don't drink as ^Amuch as I ^Bmused to ^D ^GLately, it ^Ajust ain't my ^Dstyle ^A ^Bm And the ^Dhard times don't ^Ahurt like they ^Bmought to ^D They pass ^Gquicker, like ^Awhen I was a ^Dchild ^Em

[Chorus]

And ^Gsomehow I've ^Alearned how to ^Dlisten For a s^Gound like the ^Asun going ^Bmdown ^D In the ^Gmagic the ^Amorning is ^Dbring^Ging There's a ^Dsong for the ^Alife I have ^Bmfound ^D ^G It keeps my ^Afeet on the ^Dground ^A

[Verse 2]

And the ^Dmidsummer ^Adays sit so ^Bmheavy ^D But don't they ^Gflow like the ^Abreeze through your ^Dmind When nothing ap^Apears in a ^Bmhurry ^D To make ^Gup for ^Asomeone's lost ^Dtime

[Chorus]

And ^Gsomehow I've ^Alearned how to ^Dlisten For a ^Gsound like the ^Asun going ^Bmdown ^D In the ^Gmagic the ^Amorning is ^Dbring^Ging There's a ^Dsong for the ^Alife I have ^Bmfound ^D ^G It keeps my ^Afeet on the ^Dground ^A

[Instrumental one chord per measure except the A Am, the A is first beat Am is the last two] D A Bm D G A D A Am D A Bm D G A D [Chorus]

And ^Gsomehow I've ^Alearned how to ^Dlisten For a ^Gsound like the ^Abreeze dyin ^Bmdown ^D In the ^Gmagic the ^Amorning is ^Dbring^Ging There's a ^Dsong for the ^Afriend I have ^Bmfound ^D ^G She keeps my ^Afeet on the ^Dground ^A ^G

[Outro]

She keeps my ^Afeet on the ^Dground A Bm A G A D
