Em
Gran daddy seemed to talk in riddles
G
'round the end
Em
It took me a lot more livin'
     G                                Em
To understand what he meant, when he said


[Verse 1]
Em                      G
I was born at daylight walkin' tall by seven
            D                    Bm
Graduated ten a.m. got saved by eleven
   Em
I took her hand it was straight up noon
 G
Had three kids before two
     D                        Bm    B7
They all grew and left in the afternoon


[Chorus]
      Em          C
Time flies these eyes
                G           D
Have seen the glory of the morning
       Em           D
Turn into a silent night
               C             G
I've lived a million moments in the time
              D      Em
It takes the sun to fade
         C                 D           Em   G  Em  G
And it feels like it all happened in a day


[Verse 2]
           Em
His eyes glistened as he talked
             G
About his autumn afternoon
          D                           Bm          B7
How they held each other in the chill of a silver moon
       Em
He got all chocked up when midnight fell
       G
She squeezed his hand the clock struck twelve
     D                Bm         B7
She let go and he was all by himself


[Chorus]
      Em          C
Time flies these eyes
                G           D
Have seen the glory of the morning
       Em            D
Turn into a silent night
               C             G
I've lived a million moments in the time
              D      Em
It takes the sun to fade
         C                 D            G
And it feels like it all happened in a day


[Bridge]
    Cmaj7  Cm            G    D     Em   D
But o------ohh, what a great day it was
     C         G
We lived, we loved
       Bb            Am             D
And it all just sped up around the end


[Chorus]
      Em          C
Time flies these eyes
                G           D
Have seen the glory of the morning
        Em           D
Turn in to a silent night
               C             G
I've lived a million moments in the time
              D      Em
It takes the sun to fade
         C                 D           Em   C
And it feels like it all happened in a day


[Outro]
       G   D  Em  D
Time flies
       C                    D        Em  G
And I feel like I lived my life in a day
     Em   G
In a day
