It Only Takes A Moment
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:D
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
A G A Em
A G A Em
[Chorus]
A G
It only takes a moment to collect my thoughts
A Em
It only takes a moment to move on
A G
It only takes a moment to collect my thoughts
A Em
It only takes a moment to move on
[Verse]
A G
My brain is like a puppy and it doesn't know better,
A Em
It gets in trouble if it gets away
A G
I gotta be more tough I gotta grab it by the scruff,
A Em
I gotta sternly teach it better ways
A G
I'm getting into trouble when I don't keep watch,
A Em
My brain is like a pup that makes a mess
A G
If I see it heading where I don't want it shedding
A Em
I've learned to let it roam a little less
A G
I've learned that bad things happen if I don't pay attention
A Em
If I turn around and suddenly it's gone
[Chorus]
A G
It only takes a moment to collect my thoughts
A Em
It only takes a moment to move on
A G
It only takes a moment
A Em
It only takes a moment
[Intro]
A G A Em
A G A Em
[Verse]
A G
My mind is like a floppy new arrival from the pound
A Em
How can I blame it, it's too dumb to know
A G
I can't expect it to respond when I'm the one who let it wander
A Em
So it's up to me to train it where to go
A G
Goes off into a darkened corner it will surely stumble,
A Em
or into where unstable things are stacked
A G
I'm the one who's left with all the wreckage and the cleanups
A Em
I'm the one who has to teach it how to act
A G
No don't go there get over here I tell it
A Em
Come back here and treat me with respect
[Chorus]
A G
It only takes a moment to collect my thoughts
A Em
It only takes a moment to move on
A G
It only takes a moment
A Em
It only takes a moment
[Outro]
A G A Em
A G A Em
