Dmaj7  D11  3 times

Verse 1

Dmaj7                                  D11
Its gonna take some time this time, to get myself in shape 
Dmaj7                                  D11
I really fell out-of-line this time I really missed the gate. 
  Bm7                       A
The birds on the telephone line (next time) 
Bm7               A
Are crying out to me (next time) 
     Bm7                      A
And I won't be so blind next time 
         Em7          A11 A7
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.
 
Bridge

Bm7            A                    G              D
After all the tears we've spent, how could we make amends 
        Bm       Bb+       D/A  E7/G#       Em7         A11  A7
So it's one more round for experience and I'm on the road again
        Gmaj7                A11  A7    Dmaj7   D11 
And it's going to take some time this time.
 
Verse 3 (Mainly Instrumental)

I can't make demands 
I'll learn how to bend.
 
Verse 4

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. 
Bridge

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.
