Once is a walkin' [A] through my door
I [E] know I've seen the look before
[A] Sometimes on faces in the street
[E] And sometimes in the mirror lookin' back at me
You can't fix this pain with money
[C#m]
You can't all rush away with soul
You [D] can't sweep it all to the wrong hour
Sorry, [Bm] please won't take a lot
[E] It takes a little [A] time [Bm] sometimes
To get your feet back [E] on the ground
It takes a [A] little time sometimes
[Bm] To get the tide down and runnin' fast
It [A] takes a little [Bm] time sometimes
But baby, you're not [E] goin' down
Take more [A] than you got [B] right now
[E] Give it, give it time
[A]
[B]
[A] Now, it may not be over by [C#] morning
[E] But the road must be built today
You [A] can name that a thousand [E] times
But it won't make it go away
[C#m]
[A] We've been talkin' and I'm [D] just singin' this talk
[B] There's nothin' that won't keep [E] us
It takes a [A] little time [B] sometimes
To get your feet back on the [E] ground
It takes a [A] little time [B] sometimes
To turn the dead man [E] inside
It [A] takes a little [B] time sometimes

Good job.
Good seat there.
Good to see ya.
Nice to see you.
Is that your little girl I was playin' with?
[Bm] Millie, yeah.
Millie, she's cute.
Thank you.
She drew a nice elephant.
It was a little skinny.
Bit long.
Now you were just, where were you, in Germany [F] now?
Yeah, I've been, it's been about a four month [E] press junket, but um,
I was in Germany for ten days, had a really, I don't know how much time we had,
I had a really wild experience.
I'm doing all this publicity, and music is so weird, it's all about reputation.
And one night I thought, you know, forget all this, I want to open up my guitar case on the street.
And see if I can sing for my supper.
[D] And I was more nervous to open up the guitar case than in front of ten [Bm] thousand people.
I was so afraid if I opened my eyes I'd have this look on my face like, please stop.
You know?
[E] So I closed my eyes and I was playing this old [D#] Joni Mitchell tune, Big Yellow Taxi,
and about halfway through I got brave enough just to barely crack my eyes open
and I saw like eight people standing in front of the store, right, directly in front of me.
So I closed my eyes and kept singing, and at the end I opened my eyes
and it was mannequins.
It wasn't people.
That's very funny.
And then the store behind me was called Male Amour.
It was a male porn shop.
I never, quiet street.
There you go, well I think you probably [D] did the right thing.
They were certainly relaxed when they came out, so I had that going for me.
Well listen, congratulations on your daughter.
That's a CD.
Thank you.
