It Took a While (Classic Rock)
Hard rock: twin Marshall-crunch guitars drive open-chord downstroke riffs, with percussive fingerstyle acoustic string slaps, root-heavy picked bass, pounding kick, crackling snare, and short explosive minor-pentatonic solos with bends, vibrato, and double-stops; raspy shouted male baritone with strained high grit, falsetto accents, and brief gang-shout responses; dry, mid-forward production; mid-tempo 4/4 swagger building into driving verse-chorus call-and-response
V6
[Verse 1] It took a while For me not to care Whether you love me Or whether you're here It took some time To realize Your love was only ever Dollar signs in the eyes [chorus] Though my heart was aching I wasn't mistaken You left me forsaken But you're the last one to cry [Verse3] Oh I took a while To begin to smile To believe it might be worthwhile To love once again. [chorus] Though my heart was aching I wasn't mistaken You left me forsaken But you're the last one to cry
