It Takes a Long Time John Nolan
POSTED BY JOHN NOLAN HIMSELF =)
Played with capo on the 3rd fret
Intro:Em G C Am7 2x
They dra[Em]gged me from the party kicking and screamin[G]g[C]
Clawing at t[Am7]he carpet and chewing [Em]up the scenery
[G]Talking to[C] my friends with no regard[Am7] for decency[Em] [G] [C] [Am7]
[Em]I couldn't tell you what I did, or[G] what it [C]meant to me[Am7]
But I keep findi[Em]ng all these pieces
[G]Soon they star[C]t to form a picture[Am7]
And I [Em]can understand what I've done[G] [C]
But it t[Am7]akes a long tim[Em]e [G] [C]
to u[Am7]nderstand why[Em] [G] [C] [Am7]
[Em] [G] [C]
[Am7]You made it ho[Em]me, but I was left on the road
To s[G]ing songs, drink[C] hard to fight fatigue and th[Am7]e cold
[Em]Sleep walking through the days
Just waiting until the[G] clock s[C]ays it's time to le[Am7]t go[Em] [G] [C] [Am7]
Until it's time to give [Em]up again and pretend[G]
[C]I'm not bound by habit, I[Am7]'m not a slave to my[Em] needs
I choose to let g[G]o so I m[C]ust be in control[Am7]
This mu[Em]st be who I want to be[G] [C]
But it ta[Am7]kes a long tim[Em]e [G] [C]
to u[Am7]nderstand why[Em] [G] [C]
It t[Am7]akes a long ti[Em]me [G] [C]
to u[Am7]nderstand why[Bm] [C] [Cmaj7]
[Bm] [C] [Cmaj7]
[Bm]Constant effort, constant concentr[C]ation[Cmaj7]
[Bm]Constant concern, constant contemplati[C]on[Cmaj7]
[Bm]Constantly checking my tone for accuracy[C] [Cmaj7]
[Bm]Constantly defining my inability[C] [Cmaj7]
It takes a long time [Em] [G] [C]
to u[Am7]nderstand why[Em] [G] [C]
It ta[Am7]kes a long ti[Em]me [G] [C]
to u[Am7]nderstand why[Em] [G] [C]
It [Am7]takes a long ti[Em]me
