Time takes almost everything
G F C
Me and time will take my time
F G
I look around for things to bring
F G C
To ease the way down the uphill climb
CHORUS:
F G Em
On the bright side of down
Am F
This side of the ground
G C
It's a long way around and around
Chorus Lead-Out: F G C F G C

They say that time is slowed by speed
Am G F C
But really, that's not the way it seems
F G
Maybe the key is thoughtful words and deeds
F G C
To open up the voices of your dreams

F G Em
On the bright side of down
Am F
This side of the ground
G C
It's a long way around and around
Chorus Lead-Out: F G C F G C
F G Am
There are a few things we can pass along
G F C
Maybe that will be enough
F G
Half the distance to the beautiful
F G C
With some of the many ways to love
CHORUS:

On the bright side of down
Am F
This side of the ground

I've got to live a long, long time
Am G F C
For eyes that light up everything they see
F G
Can't check out early like those friends of mine
F G C
The faster you go, the less you need
CHORUS:
F G Em
The bright side of down
Am F
This side of the ground
G C
It's a long way around and around
CHORUS:
F G Em
The bright side of down
Am F
This side of the ground
G C
It's a long way around and around
