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