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