[Verse 1]
D# C# G# Fm
Time passes slowly up here in the mountains
D# C# G# Fm
We sit beside bridges and walk beside fountains
C# Cm C# Cm
Catch the wild fishes that float through the stream
D# C# G# Fm
Time passes slow when you're lost in a dream
[Chorus]
D# C# G# Fm
La la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
D# C# G# Fm
La la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
[Verse 2]
D# C# G# Fm
Once I had a sweetheart, she was fine and good-lookin'
D# C# G# Fm
We sat in her kitchen while her mama was cookin'
C# Cm C# Cm
Stared out the window to the stars high above
D# C# G# Fm
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love
[Chorus]

Ain't no reason to go in a morning to town
G# D#
Ain't no reason to go to the fair

Ain't no reason to go up, ain't no reason to go down
C# G#
Ain't no reason to go anywhere

We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right

Like a cloud drifting over that covers the day
D# C# G# Fm
Time passes slowly then fades away
[Chorus]
