D D
I used to drink a lot in those days you see
Bm Bm
Ya, that's the way the wind blows
D D
These days the only bar I ever see
Bm Bm
Has got lettuce and tomatoes
G G
I get pumped up in the back of my mind
A A
Start thinking those days were the best of times
G G
But I never look forward to looking back
A A
Now I see a little daylight coming through the cracks
[CHORUS]
[A D] [G A]
Don't you know we're living in stolen moments

You steal enough it feels like we're stopping time
[A D] [G A]
These days are gold we're living in stolen moments
[A D] [G ! ]

D D
Well some guy told you that you couldn't dance
Bm Bm
And you been carrying that forever
D D
I'm the kinda fella needs a, second chance
Bm Bm
C'mon baby let's boo-ga-loo together
G G
I see you over there just clinging to the wall
A A
Cause they told you like ivy, you were born to crawl
G G
But you kept looking up, girl, and I know why
A A
Cause you knew some day you were gonna touch the sky

Now I'm out in the backyard leaning on a tree
Bm Bm
And I have no way of knowing
D D
Can't lean too hard that's my philosophy
Bm Bm
Man Man that tree is growing
G G
Maybe I'll never grow up to be straight and tall
A A
But you can lean on me, baby, I won't fall
G G
Maybe in the deal I can learn to bend
A A
Learn to listen like that tree, baby Like a good friend
