Written by James Taylor
A/D D C/F
Now if all my golden moments could be rolled into one
D A/D C/D
they would shine just like the sun on a summer day
D G Em7 A7sus4 A#dim7 Bm C/D
And after it was over we could have it back again
D G Em7 A7sus4 A#dim7 Bm D/E E D/E E
with credit to the editor for striking out the rain, very clean
G Em7 A7sus4 A#dim7 Bm Csus2
And all it really needed was the proper point of view
C/F A/D C/F C/D
No one's gonna bring me down. No one's gonna stop me now
A/D D C/F
Now I gathered up my sorrows and I sold them all for gold
D A/D C/D D
and I gathered up the gold and I threw it all away
D G Em7 A7sus4 A#dim7 Bm C/D D
It all went for a good time and a song, come on
D G Em7 A7sus4 A#dim7 Bm D/E E D/E E
But laughter was like music; it did float my soul along for a while
G Em7 A7sus4 A#dim7 Bm Csus2
And all it really needed was the proper point of view
C/F A/D C/F C/D
No one's gonna reach me here. No one's gonna know I'm gone
A/D D C/F
You may think I might be crazy and I guess you might be right
D A/D C/D
but I know the way I feel today is out of sight
D G Em7 A7sus4 A#dim7 Bm C/D D
I do not trust your senses to remember your name
G Em7 A7sus4 A#dim7 Bm D/E E D/E E
Without corrective lenses things are never twice the same
G Em7 A7sus4 A#dim7 Bm Csus2
And all it really needed was the proper point of view
C/F A/D C/F A/D
No one's gonna bring me down. No one's gonna stop me now.
C/F A/D C/F A/D
No one's gonna reach me here. No one's gonna know I'm gone.
