The song is basically just C majorC DmDm Am7Am7 C majorC FF through out the whole song.
It's pretty simple


C majorC                 DmDm
 And you can clean around the wound
            Am7Am7
 but if you want it to heal
     C majorC    FF
 it just takes time

C majorC             DmDm
 and you can go up to the moon
               Am7Am7
 but if you want something to change
      C majorC     FF
 you gotta change your life
        C majorC  DmDm
 and take your time

        Am7Am7  C majorC FF
 it just takes time
        C majorC  DmDm
 it just takes time
        Am7Am7
 it just takes time
     C majorC     FF
 hard work and your time

C majorC              DmDm
 and the sun will leave your room
           Am7Am7
 and leave you to the night
    C majorC  FF
 and that's alright

C majorC             DmDm
 because before the morning comes
          Am7Am7
 there's a certain calm
      C majorC   FF
 and then there's light

        C majorC  DmDm
 it just takes time
        Am7Am7
 it just takes time
      C majorC      FF
 a little trust and your time
           C majorC   DmDm
 you can change your life
        Am7Am7
 it just takes time
       C majorC      FF
 a little trust and your time

C majorC           DmDm
 and i can sit and talk
            Am7Am7
 'couse i was just like you
      C majorC     FF
 so arrogant and brave
          C majorC
 impetuous and blue
         DmDm
 but trust me as a friend
             Am7Am7
 and i'll do all that i can do
       C majorC     FF
 and i'd do anything for you
                C majorC  DmDm
 because i want to see you through

         Am7Am7
 it just takes time
    C majorC      FF
 hard work and your time
            C majorC  DmDm
 you can change your life
         Am7Am7
 it just takes time
       C majorC       FF
 a little trust and your time
              C majorC
 a little trust and your time
              DmDm
 a little trust and your time
         Am7Am7
 it just takes time
     C majorC   FF
 it just takes time
           C majorC
 hard work and your time
