Verse:

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

  A augmentedA              E minorEm
It gets in trouble if it gets away

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

 A augmentedA               E minorEm
I gotta sternly teach it better ways

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

  A augmentedA                E minorEm
My brain is like a pup that makes a mess

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

   A augmentedA                E minorEm
I've learned to let it roam a little less

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

   A augmentedA               E minorEm
If I turn around and suddenly it's gone

Chorus:

It only takes a moment

Verse:

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

  A augmentedA                E minorEm
How can I blame it, it's too dumb to know

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

    A augmentedA               E minorEm
So it's up to me to train it where to go

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

  A augmentedA               E minorEm
or into where unstable things are stacked

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

    A augmentedA               E minorEm
I'm the one who has to teach it how to act

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

   A augmentedA               E minorEm
Come back here and treat me with respect


Chorus:

  A augmentedA           G+G
It only takes a moment to collect my thoughts

  A augmentedA              E minorEm
It only takes a moment to move on

  A augmentedA          G+G
It only takes a moment

  A augmentedA          E minorEm
It only takes a moment


Outro:
