Intro: G     G/B-D    G     G/B-D  C   Em   D 

verse 1: 
         G                            Em 
When you can't find your place in the human rat-race 
        G                       Em 
And you feel like giving up the ghost 
        G                           Em 
You try smiling at the world and it spits in your face 
        C                                Em 
And you hate all the things you love the most 


verse 2: 
        G                       Em 
Well, I know your young body is eager and free 
         G                   Em 
And it's asking which way to go 
    G                   Em 
You look in the mirror, what do you see 
        C                 Em 
The big question, I don't know 

 
          G     Em 
Take your time, will ya 
          G    Bm 
Take your time___ 
          G     Em 
Take your time, will ya 
          G    C  G  Em   D 
Take your time__________ 


verse 3: 
          G                             Em 
When your mind questions why things are made like they are 
        G                  Em 
And you see no sense in it all 
          G                        Em 
There's a place somewhere and it's not too far 
    C                          Em 
But first you got to climb the wall 


verse 4: 
        G                        Em 
And the wall is so high and it's made of stone 
           G              Em 
There's no ladder here at hand 
            G                           Em 
And in that moment you know you're all alone 
           C               Em 
That's the moment you understand 


          G     Em 
Take your time, will ya 
          G    Bm 
Take your time___ 
          G     Em 
Take your time, will ya 
          G    C  G  Em   D 
Take your time__________
