5  5  -4  5  -4  5  6  5_
It's going to take some time this time
3  -3*  -3  -3*  -3  -3*
To get myself in shape
5  5  -4  5  5  -4  5  6  5_
I really fell out of line this time
-5  -5  5  -5  5  -5
I really missed the gate

-5  6  6  -5  6  -5  6  5  -5
The birds on the telephone line (next time)
5  6  -5  6  5  5  -5
Are crying out to me (next time)
-5  6  -5  5  5  6  7  6  5
And I won't be so blind next time
-3  5  -6_  6  -5  5  6  -5_
And I'll find some harmony

3  -3  5  5  -4  5  -4  5  6  5_
But it's going to take some time this time
3  -3*  -3  -3*  -3  -3*_
And I can't make demands
3  -3  3  5  5  5  -4  5  6  5_
But like the young trees in the wintertime
-5  5  -5  5  -5_
I'll learn how to bend

6  -5  6_  5  -5  7  -5
After all the tears we've spent
6  -5  5  -4  -4  -3  3  3_
How could we make amends?
-3  -4  5_  -4  5  -3  5  6  -5  5  -5
So it's one more round for experience
-3  5  -6_  6  -5  5  6  -5_
And I'm on the road again
-3  5  6  6  -5  6  -5  5  5_  -5  5  5__ (Pause)
And it's going to take some time this time
3  -3*  -3  -3*  -3  -3*_ (Pause)
And I can’t make demands
-5  5  -5  5  -5_
I’ll learn how to bend
(Interldue)

5*  5*  5  5*  5  5*  -6  5*_
It's going to take some time this time
3*  -4  -3*  -4  -3*  -4_
No matter what I've planned
3*  -3*  3*  5*  5*  5*  5  5*  -6  5*_
But like the young trees in the wintertime
-5*  5*  -5*  5*  -5*_
I'll learn how to bend
-6  -5*  -6_  5*  -5*  7*  -5*
After all the tears we've spent
-6  -5*  5*  5  5  -3*  3*  3*_
How could we make amends?
-3*  5  5*  5  5*  -3*  5*  -6  -5*  5*  -5*
So it's one more round for experience
-3*  5*  -6*_  -6  -5*  5*  -6  -5*_
And I'm on the road again
-3*  5*  -6  -6  -5*  -6  -5*  5*  5*_  -5*  5*  5*__
And it's going to take some time this time
