[Verse 1]
F# E B G#m
Time passes slowly up here in the mountains
F# E B G#m
We sit beside bridges and walk beside fountains
E D#m E D#m
Catch the wild fishes that float through the stream
F# E B G#m
Time passes slow when you're lost in a dream
[Chorus]
F# E B G#m
La la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
F# E B G#m
La la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
[Verse 2]
F# E B G#m
Once I had a sweetheart, she was fine and good-lookin'
F# E B G#m
We sat in her kitchen while her mama was cookin'
E D#m E D#m
Stared out the window to the stars high above
F# E B G#m
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love
[Chorus]
F# E B G#m
La la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
F# E B G#m
La la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
[Middle 8]
B F#
Ain't no reason to go in a morning to town
B F#
Ain't no reason to go to the fair
B F#
Ain't no reason to go up, ain't no reason to go down
E B
Ain't no reason to go anywhere
[Verse 3]
F# E B G#m
Time passes slowly up here in the daylight
F# E B G#m
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
E D#m E D#m
Like a cloud drifting over that covers the day
F# E B G#m
Time passes slowly then fades away
[Chorus]
F# E B G#m
La la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
F# E B G#m
La la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
F# E B G#m
La la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
