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
