Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Am][Dm][G]
[C][Am][Dm][G]

[Verse 1]
Well, his [C]after moan though cries [Am]oh no
He's [Dm]building up a shine,
but he take [G]it slow
And he knows it's [C]time to make a [Am]change here
in [Dm]time to get [G]away
And he knows [C]it's time
for all the wrong [Am]reasons
Oh [Dm]time to end the [G]pain

[Chorus 1]
But [C]he sleep all, we sleep all day
[Am]Sleep all, we sleep all day [Dm]over
[G]But why don't we,
[C]sleep all, we sleep all day
[Am]Sleep all, we sleep all day [Dm]over?
[G]She said
[C]"What would your mother think
of all this?
[Am]How would your father react, oh
[Dm]Would he take it all back
what [G]they've done?
The way they [C]said, "Take it, take it"
And he said
[Am]"Make it with your own t[Dm]wo hands"
[G]That was my old man
And he said, [Dm]"If all is grounded
you [F]should go make a mountain
out of air"

[Verse 2]
Oh, [C]what a lovely day
to have a slice [Am]of humble pie
Oh, re[Dm]calling of the while
we used to drive [G]and drive here and there
[C]Going nowhe[Am]re but for[Dm] us,
nowhere but the [G]two of us
And we knew
it [C]was time to take a [Am]chance here
And [Dm]time to compromise
our lives [G]just a little while
And it was [C]time for all the wrong
And [Am]lonely lonesome reasons
But [Dm]time is often on my side
I'm gonna [G]give it to you tonight

[Chorus 2]
And [C]we sleep all, we sleep all day
[Am]Sleep all, we sleep all day [Dm]over
[G]But why don't we,
[C]sleep all, we sleep all day
[Am]Sleep all, we sleep all day over[Dm]?
And over, over and [G]over again?

[Verse 3]
And as the [C]time goes by,
we get a little bit tired
Of [Am]waking
and baked another Marlboro [Dm]mile wide
[G]It's sending the boy[C]s on the run
in the time in the hot summer [Am]sun
To swim beneath over [Dm]out side
Still they're reading
between the [G]lines
But they re[C]membered the part
in the Hallmark card
Where they [Am]read about the dreams
and are reaching for the [Dm]stars
To hold on a little bit [G]closer to
And, oh, say they knew it was [C]time,
time to take and take love
[Am]Time to take a chance here,
[Dm]time to compromise, to [G]occupy their lives
And it was [C]time for all the wrong [Am]rea sons
Oh, but all [Dm]time is often on my side,
but I [G]give it to you, oh boy

[Chorus 3]
[C]Sleep all, we sleep all day
[Am]Sleep all, we sleep all day [Dm]over
[G]But why don't we,
[C]sleep all, we sleep all day
[Am]Sleep all, we sleep all day [Dm]over?
[G]She said
[C]"What would your mother think
of all [Am]this?
How would your father react, oh [Dm]Lord
Would he take it all back
what [G]they've done?
The way they [C]said, "Take it, take it"
And he said
[Am]"Make it, don't break it
with your [Dm]own two hands"
Said [G]that was my old man
And he said, [Dm]"If all is grounded
you [F]should go make a mountain out of

[Outro 1]
[C](air") Love, go make a mountain, [Am]go
On and on and [Dm]on and on
You should [G]go on make a mountain out of
[C]And[Am] hey love[Dm],
go on, [G]go on and go on and
[C]Go on and make a mountain
[Am]Go on and make a mountain
[Dm]Go on, oh you should g[G]o on
and make a mountain out of [C]air
