To Be Good Takes a Long Time Lyrics & Tabs by Paul Kelly

To Be Good Takes a Long Time

guitar chords lyrics

Paul Kelly

One day, then another
One step at a time
The battle's never over

The Devil's so close behind
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
Cry each time I fall
To be good takes a long time
But to be bad no time at all
I learned it before, now I'm learning again
Before you can waIk you must crawl
To be good takes a long time
But to be bad no time at all
Fine-sounding intentions
Pave the road to hell
I walked out my front door

Fine-sounding intentions
Pave the road to hell
I walked out my front door
And after that I can't tell
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
Cry each time I fall
To be good takes a long time
To be bad no time at all
