D#        Gm            F
Even though it took a while
A#      F        D#
Good things take time

D#                        F
You weren't there when I needed you most
                 A#                     D#
You let me down like for the twentieth time,
now I know
                                  F
That you're not gonna be the somebody
                           A#
To carry me when I feel so weak
                          D#
You weren't there when I needed you most
        F
And I, I've been getting on with life
                      Gm             D#
And I feel happy when you're off my mind

        D#
Oh, baby
            Gm          F
Even though it took a while to let you go
A#             F               D#
And my heart still don't feel right, but now I know
      Gm          F
Good things take time, and oh
A#     F         D#
Good things take time

Chorus:
                      D#               F
And I've been working on myself, on myself
                    A#         D#
And I don't need nobody else, -body else, uh-oh
                        F
Even though it took a while, and now I know
A#     F     D#
Good things take time

Things are better now that I moved on,
I feel lighter
I depended on you for too long, now I know that
I'm yhe somebody to care for me and it feels so free
Things are better now that you are gone

Oh, baby
Even though it took a while to let you go
And my heart still don't feel right, but now I know
Good things take time, and oh
Good things take time

Chorus

D#           F
For myself, for myself
Ah-ooh-ooh
A#           D#
For myself, for myself
Ah-ooh-ooh
D#           F
For myself, for myself
A#     F         D#
Good things take time
And oh

Even though it took a while to let you go
And my heart still don't feel right, but now I know
Good things take time, and oh
Good things take time
