Chorus:
E                 A     B
It takes a little time sometimes
B                                     E
to get your feet back on the ground
E                 A     B
It takes a little time sometimes
B                                        E
to get the titanic turned back around
E                 A     B

B                            E

Verse I:
A
What?s this walking through my door
G#/E
I know I?ve seen the look before
A
Sometimes on faces on the street
G#/E
And sometimes at the mirror looking back at me
A
You can?t fix the pain with money
E
You cant?t rush a weary soul
D
You can?t sweep it under the rug now honey
B
But it take not a lot to know

Chorus

Verse II :
A
Well it may not be over my morning
G#/E
But Rome wasn?t build in a day
A
You can name that thing a thousand times
E
It won?t make it go away
A
Let me put my arms around you
E
And hold you while you weep
D
We ?ve been talking and you know what, I?m sick of this talk
B
And it?s nothing that won?t keep

Chorus:
Chorus freely again but modulates a whole tone up.

F#              B    C#
Takes a little time sometime
C#                      F#
to get the....


You can?t fix the pain with money
You cant?t rush a weary soul
You can?t sweep it under the rug now honey
But it take not a lot to know
