One Second

[Chorus]
                         Fmadd9         G7
If you give me just one second of your time (yo)
                   Cm           Bb Cm
I could tell you stories 'bout my life (true story)
                                Fmadd9              G7
I've seen hope and I've seen struggle through these eyes (yeah)
                     Cm               Bb   Cm
So give me just one second (like) of your time (yo)
 
 
[Verse 1]
Fmadd9
 One second to let it breathe (let it breathe)
G7
 Just a second, a second is all I need (oh, yeah)
Cm                                           Bb
 When you're questioning everything you believed
  Cm
Then you're fighting with the devil in your dreams (devil in your dreams, ooh)
Fmadd9
 One second, just let me be (let me be)
G7
 Let it pour, let it rain, let it bleed (uh-huh)
 Cm                                            Bb
Heavy is the head, but the pressure makes you heave
 Cm
So you bill it 'cause the spirit of depression never sleeps (yeah)
Fmadd9                               G7
 I am not the poster boy for mental health (I'm not)
 
I need peace of mind, I need to centre self (uh-huh)
     Cm                                   Bb
The cover of the NME, that shit made me resent myself
         Cm
There's people tryin' to spread the word and people that pretend to help (ohh)
   Fmadd9
But how am I complaining when I'm blessed? (ooh)
G7
 I get this daunting feeling on the days I'm on my best
                Cm                                 Bb      Cm
When all these demons that I carry get to messin' with my head
 
So could you give me just a second just to get 'em off my chest, please?
 
 
[Chorus]
                         Fmadd9         G7
If you give me just one second of your time
                   Cm           Bb Cm
I could tell you stories 'bout my life
                                Fmadd9              G7
I've seen hope and I've seen struggle through these eyes
                     Cm               Bb   Cm
So give me just one second (yeah) of your time (like, like)
 
 
[Verse 2]
Fmadd9
 One second to recollect
G7
 Just a second, a second is all I get
Cm                                   Bb      Cm
 I can't tell where I'm heading, I'm outta breath
 
All these early premonitions of my death (ooh)
Fmadd9
 But I knew He had plan (uh-huh)
G7
 Lord knows I'ma do it if I can (Lord knows)
 Cm                                        Bb
When I take a stand, they say I'm ruining my brand
Cm
 But I could never give a fuck, that's just my duty as a man
         Fmadd9
So if I go on stage at BRITS and tell the PM she's a bitch
              G7
Then that's exactly what it is and I don't want no bloody stripes for it
Cm                                                 Bb    Cm
 Mummy always said if there's a cause then I should fight for it
 
So, yeah, I understand, but I don't think that I'm alright with it
      Fmadd9
Like yeah, cool, I get it
                G7
Yeah, I know I said it
 
But there's people fighting every day and they don't get the credit
          Cm                                               Bb Cm
But it's cool, man, that's just one of the stresses on my mind
 
To get this out my chest I need a second of your time, please
 
 
[Chorus]
                         Fmadd9         G7
If you give me just one second of your time
                   Cm           Bb Cm
I could tell you stories 'bout my life
                                Fmadd9              G7
I've seen hope and I've seen struggle through these eyes
                     Cm        Bb   Cm
Oh give me just one second of your time
 
 
[Bridge]
                  Fmadd9
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
 G7            Cm     Bb  Cm
Ooh, just one second, ooh-ooh-ooh
               Fmadd9
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh-oh
   G7
Oh-oh-oh, ooh-ooh
         Cm
Ooh-oh, ooh-ooh
Bb  Cm
Ooh-ooh, ohh

                                Abmaj7              G7
I've seen hope and I've seen struggle through these eyes
