Waltz Time
Intro: D  D/C#  Bm  Bm/A  G  A  D

         D                D/C#           Bm    Bm/A   G        A              
  D      A
Well I don't drink as much as I ought to,      Lately it just ain't my style.

        D                        D/C#                   Bm   Bm/A             
 G               A                 D
And the hard times don't cut, like they used to.       They pass quicker like 
when I was a child.



Chorus:

       G              A                   D                 G                 
A           Bm     Bm/A

And somehow I learned how to listen, to the sound of the sun dying down.

G                    A                   D     G      D                D/C#   
     Bm     Bm/A
Knowing in the morning I'll be singing,  A song for this life I have found,
      
  G                             A                D
You know it keeps my feet on the ground.


             D                D/C#          Bm    Bm/A    G                   
  A                           D       A   
Well the midsummer days sit so heavy,   they don't flow like the breeze 
through your mind.

         D         D/C#        Bm   Bm/A     G           A                 D
when nothing feels in a hurry,        you make up for some ol' lost time.
