[ 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 .

chance to hold your heart ,

a chance to hold your heart .

[ instrumental ]

[ 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 ,

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 .

i’ve been taking all my time , all my time , all my time ,

all my time , all my time , all my time .
