[Intro]
Cadd9, D (x4)

[Verse 1]
           Cadd9      G               D    G
The fog of writing is like the fog of war,
    D          Cadd9                         G                       D    G
You lie to yourself, and you pretend you can do it so you can do it more,
    D           Cadd9  G                D    G
You make things rhyme    and make some sense,
D              Cadd9                G                         D
You change the names to protect the guilty and you change the tense,
       G          D
Can I change your mind?

[Chorus]
     Cadd9             D   
This song could be the one,
            Cadd9                      D   
To help you understand everything I've done,
            Cadd9                   D    
Maybe it'll move you, and you could see,
                      Cadd9                           D  
That I've been taking all my time to make the best of me.

[Verse 2]
The proper lighting can make or break a room,
So lets bring a wall of L.E.D's in to illuminate the doom and gloom,
I let the sun brighten up the space,
We'll take the time to make sure that every single thing is in its place,
Then I'll change your mind.

[Chorus]
This song could be the one,
To help you understand everything I've done,
Maybe it'll move you, and make you dance,
Maybe if I take my time, I'll get one more.

[Bridge]
D      G  Cadd9  D    Cadd9         
Chance to hold   your heart,
  D      G  Cadd9  D    Cadd9  
A chance to hold   your heart,
D   G    Cadd9  D   Cadd9   
Not just stop   and start,
  D      G  Cadd9  D    Cadd9
A chance to hold   your heart.

[Instrumental]
Cadd9, D (x2)

[Verse 3]
History's written by the side that wins,
They set the scene and tell the story and determine all the outs and ins,
But what goes down when both sides lose?,
How will you be represented? Does it matter? Do you get to choose?,
I wanna change your mind.

[Chorus]
This song could be the one,
To help you understand everything I've done,
Maybe it'll move you, and you could see,
That I've been taking all my time to make the best of me,
Yeah, I've been taking all my time to make the best of me.

[Coda]
                 Cadd9                     D
I've been taking all my time, all my time, all my time,
                        Cadd9                     D
Yeah, I've been taking all my time, all my time, all my time,
                        Cadd9                     D
Yeah, I've been taking all my time, all my time, all my time, all my time,
 Cadd9                     D
All my time, all my time, all my time.

[Outro]
Cadd9, D (x10)
