[Intro]
E E7 A A C#m F#m B
[Verse]
E
Tilt your chair back
E7
Look up at the trees, let your hair down
A
Listen to the breeze, breathe this moment
E C#m
Down into your knees
F#m B
Let your worries for tomorrow fall amongst the leaves
E
With your best loved mug
B E7
Full of quittin' time tea, sip the present
A
Gift-wrapped from eternity
Lay a treasure
E C#m
Deep into your mind
F#m B
To dust off on a grey day when you need a ray of shine
[Chorus]
A E
When your weary shoulders start to slouchin'
A E
From holding all that weight that you can't see
A E
When there ain't a steady foot to stand on
B
And you're too quick to thinkin' on your feet
A
When your smile fades
E
When your heart lacks
F#m B(hold)
Toss your care down
E
Tilt your chair back
[Verse]
E
There's a time for working
B E7
Time to get away, there's time for bailin'
A
Time for rollin' in the hay
E
Time for stealing
C#m
A little time back from the sun
F#m B7
Borrow from tomorrow 'fore tomorrow has begun
[Chorus]
A E
When your weary shoulders start to slouchin'
A E
From holding all that weight that you can't see
A E
When there ain't a steady foot to stand on
B
And you're too quick to thinkin' on your feet
A
When your smile fades
E
When your heart lacks
F#m B(hold)
Toss your care down
E
Tilt your chair back

A E
And when the joy you found becomes ungrounded
A E
And all the sound around you can't be hushed
A E
When you find you're sittin' in the darkness
B
And darkness feels like all there ever was
A
When your smile fades
E
When your heart lacks
F#m B
Toss your cares down
E
Tilt your chair back
