Chorus:
GG Piano Chord 
             Gmaj7Gmaj7 Piano Chord 
            CC Piano Chord 

I let time go lightly when I'm here with you
AmAm Piano Chord 
            DD Piano Chord 
                CC Piano Chord 
       GG Piano Chord 
          CC Piano Chord 

I let time go lightly when the day is through
GG Piano Chord 
             Gmaj7Gmaj7 Piano Chord 
                  CC Piano Chord 

I keep a watch on time when I've got work to do
AmAm Piano Chord 
            DD Piano Chord 
             CC Piano Chord 
  GG Piano Chord 

I let time go lightly with you

GG Piano Chord 
     CC Piano Chord 
 GG Piano Chord 
           CC Piano Chord 
                   GG Piano Chord 
            CC Piano Chord 
 GG Piano Chord 

Morning, a time for breaking ground and sowing seed
CC Piano Chord 
        DD Piano Chord 
         CC Piano Chord 
           GG Piano Chord 

And yet we give up our sunshine so we can buy what we need
CC Piano Chord 
               GG Piano Chord 
     CC Piano Chord 
 GG Piano Chord 
          CC Piano Chord 
           GG Piano Chord 
              CC Piano Chord 
 GG Piano Chord 

And that leaves the evening to share a fire with a friend or two
GG Piano Chord 
                    CC Piano Chord 
      DD Piano Chord 
     CC Piano Chord 
            GG Piano Chord 

to lose sight of the hours; to go lightly with you
[chorus]

Old friends, they mean much more to me than a new friend
'cause they can see where you are and they know where you've been
Music has been my closest friend, my fiercest foe
'cause it can take you so high; yes, it can take you so low

CC Piano Chord 
            GG Piano Chord 
        DD Piano Chord 
      GG Piano Chord 
     AA Piano Chord 

When I was a child my mother would help me along
AA Piano Chord 
                          CC Piano Chord 

She'd rock me to sleep and sing me a song
CC Piano Chord 
                GG Piano Chord 
       DD Piano Chord 
        GG Piano Chord 
       AA Piano Chord 

So I learned to love the music of all the tunes in my head
AA Piano Chord 
                       CC Piano Chord 

The changing of chords, the rhythm of time
[chorus]

CC Piano Chord 
             DD Piano Chord 
            CC Piano Chord 

Yes I let time go lightly with you
AmAm Piano Chord 
          D/F#D/F# Piano Chord 
     GG Piano Chord 

and a fire and a friend or two
AmAm Piano Chord 
        CC Piano Chord 
          D/F#D/F# Piano Chord 
      GG Piano Chord 

With you and a fire and a friend or two
CC Piano Chord 
                    GG Piano Chord 

A friend or two, and you
