[Bb]
[Cm] [Eb]
[Ab] [Bb]
[Eb] [Bb] I [Eb]
don't dream [Bb] as much [Cm] as I ought to
[Ab]
Lately, [Bb] that just [Eb] ain't my [Bb] [Eb] style
And the hard times [Gm] don't cut [Cm] like they used to
[Gm] They [Ab] pass quicker [Bb] like [Eb] winter's a child
But [Gm]
[Ab] somehow [Bb] I've learned [Eb] how to listen
[Ab] To the sound [Bb] of the sundown
[Cm]
[Bb] [Ab]
Knowing [Bb] with the morning [Eb] I'll be [Ab] singing
[Eb] A song for [Bb] this life [Cm] I've found
[Bbm]
You [Ab] know that keeps [Bb] my feet [Eb] on the ground

Well, the midsummer [Bb]
days sit [Cm] so heavy
[Eb]
[Ab] They don't flow [Bb] like the breeze [Eb] through your [Bb] mind
[C] [Eb] When nothing [Bb]
appears [Cm] in a hurry
They [Ab] make up [C] for some old [Eb] lost time
[Ab] Somehow [Bb] I've learned [Eb] how to listen
[Abm] To the sound [Bb] of the sundown
[Cm] [F]
[Ab] Knowing [Bb] with the morning [Eb] I'll be [Ab] singing
A [Eb]
song for [Bb] this life [Cm] I've found
[Eb] [Ab] You know that keeps [Bb] my feet on [Eb] the ground
[F] [Ab]
Somehow [Bb] I've learned [Eb] how to listen
To [Ab] the sound [Bb] of the sundown
[Cm]

Knowing [Bb] with the morning [Eb] I'll be [Ab] singing
