Stormzy feat H.E.R. - 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

Bb Cm
Ooh-ooh, ohh
