A
it took one mess-up
   D         A
to shake his brain
A
it took one breakup
   F#m       D  A
to start the rain
A
then one more good song
   D        A
to stop the pain

A
you can try runnin'
     D          A
but then you'll see
A
you're not you without
F#m D A
history
A
so suck in fresh air
     D       A
just build a new

A                 D
time takes time to grow
F#m      D         A
you say time's too slow
A                    D
there's one thing to know
F#m              D       A
but there's much more to show
F#m D A

A
it took one lifetime
    D      A
to right a wrong
A
but took one hour
   F#m        D A
to write this song
A
oh one more lifetime
D         A
seems too long

A
so take your chances
     D         A
and don't look back
A
make some messes
    F#m     D  A
and get off track
A                      D
'cause there's just no reason
   A
to frown

A                 D
time takes time to grow
F#m      D         A
you say time's too slow
A                    D
there's one thing to know
F#m              D       A
but there's much more to show
F#m D A
