Lyrics

(C)It’s gon na take some time this time to (Gm7)get my self in shape.

(C)I real ly fell out of line this time.

(Gm7)I real ly missed the gate.

The (Fmaj7)birds on the tel e phone (Em7)line, (next time) are (Fmaj7)cry in’ out to me,

(next time) and (Fmaj7)I won’t be so (Em7)blind next (Am)time, and I’ll (Dm)find some har mo ny.

But it’s (C)go ing to take some time this time,

and (Gm7)I can’t make de mands.

But like the (C)young trees in the win ter time,

(Gm7)I’ll learn how to bend.

(Fmaj7)Af ter all the (Em7)tears we’ve spent, how (Dm7)could we (Dm7)make a (C)mends?

So (C)it’s one more round for ex (Am)per i ence and I’m on the road a gain,

and it’s (Fmaj7)go ing to take some (Dm7)time

(Dm7)this

(C)time!

(C)It’s gon na take some time this time, no (Gm7)mat ter what I’ve planned.

And like the (C)young trees

in the win ter time,

(Gm7)I’ll learn how to bend.

(Fmaj7)Af ter all the (Em7)tears we’ve spent, how (Dm7)could we (Dm7)make a (C)mends?

So (C)it’s one more round for ex (Am)per i ence and I’m on the road a gain,

and it’s (Fmaj7)go ing to take some (Dm7)time this

(C)time!

(Dm7)time this time!
