Verse 1

D5                                  D5
Its gonna take some time this time, to get myself in shape 
D5                                  D5
I really fell out-of-line this time I really missed the gate. 
  B5                       A5
The birds on the telephone line (next time) 
B5               A5
Are crying out to me (next time) 
     B5                      A5
And I won't be so blind next time 
         E5          A5 A5
And I'll find some harmony. 

Verse 2

But it's going to take some time this time and I can't make demands 
But like the young trees in the wintertime, I'll learn how to bend.

        B5       Bb+       D5  E5       E5         A5  A5
So it's one more round for experience and I'm on the road again

And it's going to take some time this time.

It's going to take some time this time 
No matter what I've planned 
But like the young trees in the wintertime 
I'll learn how to bend.

After all the tears we've spent 
How could we make amends 
So it's one more round for experience 
And I'm on the road again 
And it's going to take some time this time.
