Nick Lowe - Rome wasnt built in a day

^DYou don't know it but I've made my mind up ^DYou'll wind up in my arms ^DFirst I have to break down your resistance to my c^Gharms, Yes darling ^GI know it won't be easy But I won't rest until I find a w^Bmay Everybody knows ^GRome wasn't ^Abuilt in a d^Day

^DHow I'll make it happen I'm not certain ^DI'm working on a plan ^DAnd when I get it tight you'll believe ^GI'm your man ^DYou don't know it yet but you'll surrender When I make my ^Bmplay But everybody knows that ^GRome wasn't b^Auilt in a ^Dday

^GI'll offer you protection, 24-hour loving affection But it'll take time to make it r^Bmight ^GJust look at what the Pharaoh did, When he built his pyramid Everybody knows that didn't spring up over ^Anight ^DThere'll be a celebration And a silver band will ^Bmplay But everybody knows that ^GRome wasn't ^Abuilt in a ^Dday ^GRome wasn't ^Abuilt in a ^Dday
