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