My brain is like a puppy and it doesn't know better,
A
Em
It gets in trouble if it gets away
A
G
I gotta be more tough I gotta grab it by the scruff,
A
Em
I gotta sternly teach it better ways
A
G
I'm getting into trouble when I don't keep watch,
A
Em
My brain is like a pup that makes a mess
A
G
If I see it heading where I don't want it shedding
A
Em
I've learned to let it roam a little less
A
G
I've learned that bad things happen if I don't pay attention
A
Em
If I turn around and suddenly it's gone
A

It only takes a moment to collect my thoughts

A
G
My mind is like a floppy new arrival from the pound
A
Em
How can I blame it, it's too dumb to know
A
G
I can't expect it to respond when I'm the one who let it wander
A
Em
So it's up to me to train it where to go
A
G
Goes off into a darkened corner it will surely stumble,
A
Em
or into where unstable things are stacked
A
G
I'm the one who's left with all the wreckage and the cleanups
A
Em
I'm the one who has to teach it how to act
A
G
No don't go there get over here I tell it
A
Em
Come back here and treat me with respect
A
G
It only takes a moment to collect my thoughts
A

It only takes a moment to move on
