Chorus:

   A                      G
It only takes a moment to collect my thoughts

   A                           Em
It only takes a moment to move on

   A                      G
It only takes a moment to collect my thoughts

   A                           Em
It only takes a moment to move on



Verse:
A                            G
My brain is like a puppy and it doesn't know better,

   A                           Em
It gets in trouble if it gets away

  A                           G
I gotta be more tough I gotta grab it by the scruff,

  A                             Em
I gotta sternly teach it better ways

    A                           G
I'm getting into trouble when I don't keep watch,

   A                                Em
My brain is like a pup that makes a mess

A                           G
If I see it heading where I don't want it shedding

     A                               Em
I've learned to let it roam a little less

     A                                   G
I've learned that bad things happen if I don't pay attention

     A                             Em
If I turn around and suddenly it's gone


Chorus:

   A                      G
It only takes a moment to collect my thoughts

   A                           Em
It only takes a moment to move on

   A                    G
It only takes a moment

   A                    Em
It only takes a moment


Intro:
A G A Em
A G A Em


Verse:

   A                           G
My mind is like a floppy new arrival from the pound

    A                                Em
How can I blame it, it's too dumb to know

          A                               G
I can't expect it to respond when I'm the one who let it wander

        A                             Em
So it's up to me to train it where to go

     A                          G
Goes off into a darkened corner it will surely stumble,

   A                              Em
or into where unstable things are stacked

A                                   G
I'm the one who's left with all the wreckage and the cleanups

        A                              Em
I'm the one who has to teach it how to act

A                     G
No don't go there get over here I tell it

     A                             Em
Come back here and treat me with respect


Chorus:

   A                      G
It only takes a moment to collect my thoughts

   A                           Em
It only takes a moment to move on

   A                    G
It only takes a moment

   A                    Em
It only takes a moment


Outro:
A G A Em
