Capo: 2nd fret
[Intro]
D Dmaj7 D7 G D B7 Em A
[Verse 1]
D
Tilt your chair back
Dmaj7
Look up at the trees
D7
let your hair down
G
Listen to the breeze
Breathe this moment
D B7
Down into your knees
Em
Let your worries for tomorrow
A
Fall amongst the leaves
[Verse 2]
D
With your best loved mug
Dmaj7
Full of quittin time tea
D7
Sip the present
G
Gift wrapped from eternity
Lay a treasure
D B7
Deep into your mind
Em
To dust off a grey day
A
When you need a ray of shine
[Chorus]
G D
When your weary shoulders start to slouchin
G D
From holding all that weight that you cant see
G D
When thre aint a steady foot to stand on
A
And you're to quick to thinkin on your feet
G
When your smile fades
F#m
And your heart lacks
Em Asus4 A
Toss your care down
D
Tilt your chair back
[Verse 3]
D
There's a time for working
Dmaj7
Time to get away
D7
Theres time for bailin
G
Time for rollin in the hay
Time for stealing
D B7
A little time back from the sun
Em
Borrow from to-morrow
A
Fore to-morrow has be-gun
[Chorus 2]
G D
And when your weary shoulders start to slouchin
G D
From holding all that weight you cant see
G D
When there aint a steady foot to stand on
A
And you're to quick to thinkin on your feet
G
When your smile fades
F#m
When your heart lacks
Em Asus4
Toss your care down
D DMaj7
Tilt your chair back
D7 G D D7 D B7 Em A
[Chorus 3]
G D
And when the joy you found becomes un-grounded
G D
And all the sound a-round you cant be hushed
D
When you find you're sittin in the darkness
A
And the darkness Feels like all there ever was
G
When your smile fades
F#m
When your heart lacks
Em Asus4 A
Toss your care down
D
Tilt your chair back
[Outro]
D7 DMaj7 G Em D B7 D A
Tilt your chair back
Look up at the trees, let your hair down
Listen to the breeze, breathe this moment
Down into your knees
Let your worries for tomorrow fall amongst the leaves
With your best loved mug
Full of quittin' time tea, sip the present
Gift-wrapped from eternity
Lay a treasure
Deep into your mind
To dust off on a grey day when you need a ray of shine
When your weary shoulders start to slouchin'
From holding all that weight that you can't see
When there ain't a steady foot to stand on
And you're too quick to thinkin' on your feet
When your smile fades
When your heart lacks
Toss your care down
Tilt your chair back
There's a time for working
Time to get away, there's time for bailin'
Time for rollin' in the hay
Time for stealing
A little time back from the sun
Borrow from tomorrow 'fore tomorrow has begun
And when your weary shoulders start to slouchin'
From holding all that weight that you can't see
And when there ain't a steady foot to stand on
And you're too quick to thinkin' on your feet
When your smile fades
When your heart lacks
Toss your care down
Tilt your chair back
And when the joy you found becomes ungrounded
And all the sound around you can't be hushed
When you find you're sittin' in the darkness
And darkness feels like all there ever was
When your smile fades
When your heart lacks
Toss your care down
Tilt your chair back
