<< Back to James Taylor Song List

Version 1

            [Verse]
       A                Esus4                  A    Esus4
The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time
A               Esus4
Any fool can do it
A                      Esus4
There ain't nothing to it
Dmaj7               C#m7
Nobody knows how we got to
               F#7     C#m7 F#7
The top of the hill
      Bm7                      D/E    E/F#
But since we're on our way down
    Bm7                    D/E    E/F#
We might as well enjoy the ride


[Verse]
       A                  Esus4           A        Esus4
The secret of love is in opening up your heart
      A            Esus4
It's okay to feel afraid
       A                         Esus4
But don't let that stand in your way
      Dmaj7             C#m7             F#7    C#m7 F#7
Cause anyone knows that love is the only road
    Bm7                         D/E    E/F#
And since we're only here for a while
    Bm7                    D/E    E/F#
We might as well show some style
       A          Esus4
C’mon, give us a smile


[CHORUS]
              Dmaj7
Isn't it a lovely ride
C#m7              F#7
Sliding down, Gliding down
Bm7                     D/E    E/F#
Try not to try too hard
                   A    Esus4
It's just a lovely ride


[Verse]
              A                                   Esus4
Now the thing about time is that time
                  A        Esus4
Isn't really real
      A                         Esus4
It's just your point of view
         A                     Esus4
How does it feel for you
Dmaj7                         C#m7                 
Einstein said he could never 
              F#7  C#m7 F#7
understand it all
Bm7                      D/E    E/F#
Planets spinning through space
       Bm7          D/E    E/F#
The smile upon your face
         A               Esus4
Now welcome to the human race
 

[CHORUS II]
              Dmaj7
Isn’t it a lovely ride
                 C#m7             F#7
Oh, I'll be sliding down, I'll be gliding down
Bm7                     D/E     E/F#
Try not to try too hard
                   A    Esus4
It's just a lovely ride


[CHORUS III]
                      Dmaj7
Some kind of lovely ride
                       C#m7
Oh yes tonight…I’ll be sliding down
            F#7
See me gliding down
Bm7                    D/E   E/F#
Try not to try too hard
                   A    Esus4
It's just a lovely ride

               A            Esus4                  A   
Now the secret of life is enjoying the passage of time
