[Intro]
A G A Em
A G A Em


[Chorus]
   A                      GIt only takes a moment to collect my thoughts
   A                           EmIt only takes a moment to move on
   A                      GIt only takes a moment to collect my thoughts
   A                           EmIt only takes a moment to move on



[Verse]
   A                            GMy brain is like a puppy and it doesn't know better,
   A                           EmIt gets in trouble if it gets away
  A                           GI gotta be more tough I gotta grab it by the scruff,
  A                             EmI gotta sternly teach it better ways
    A                           GI'm getting into trouble when I don't keep watch,
   A                                EmMy brain is like a pup that makes a mess
A                           GIf I see it heading where I don't want it shedding
     A                               EmI've learned to let it roam a little less
     A                                   GI've learned that bad things happen if I don't pay attention
     A                             EmIf I turn around and suddenly it's gone


[Chorus]
   A                      GIt only takes a moment to collect my thoughts
   A                           EmIt only takes a moment to move on
   A                    GIt only takes a moment
   A                    EmIt only takes a moment

[Verse]
   A                           GMy mind is like a floppy new arrival from the pound
    A                                EmHow can I blame it, it's too dumb to know
          A                               GI can't expect it to respond when I'm the one who let it wander
        A                             EmSo it's up to me to train it where to go
     A                          GGoes off into a darkened corner it will surely stumble,
   A                              Emor into where unstable things are stacked
A                                   GI'm the one who's left with all the wreckage and the cleanups
        A                              EmI'm the one who has to teach it how to act
A                     GNo don't go there get over here I tell it
     A                             EmCome back here and treat me with respect


[Chorus]
   A                      GIt only takes a moment to collect my thoughts
   A                           EmIt only takes a moment to move on
   A                    GIt only takes a moment
   A                    EmIt only takes a moment
