Intro: G  
 
G            Bm
Comes a time
                     D
when you're driftin'
 
Comes a time
         Am         C
when you settle down
G             Bm
Comes a light
                D
feelin's liftin'
 
Lift that baby
         Am             C
right up off the ground.

 
G   F        C
Oh, this old world
      G
keeps spinning round
       F           C
It's a wonder tall trees
      G
ain't layin' down
              Dm    G
There comes a time.
 

G         Bm
You and I
                 D
we were captured
 
We took our souls
       Am        C
and we flew away
G            Bm
We were right
               D
we were giving
 
That's how we kept
        Am         C
what we gave away.
 

G   F        C
Oh, this old world
      G
keeps spinning round
       F           C
It's a wonder tall trees
      G
ain't layin' down
              Dm    G
There comes a time.
