DGA7D
People are saying that time’ll take care of people like me
DE7A7
And I'm living too fast, Lord you know it can’t last too much longer
DGA7D
But little they see that their thoughts of me is my savior
DA7D
And they really should know that the beat ought to go a little faster
Chorus:
DGA7D
So pick up the tempo just a little, take it on home
DE7A7A singer ain’t singin and the drummer’s been drinkin’ too long
DGA7D
Time’ll take care of itself so leave time alone
DA7D
Pick up the tempo just a little, take it on home
Change Key to
EAB7E
I'm wild and I'm mean, and I'm creating a scene, I'm goin' crazy
EF#B7
I'm good and I'm bad, I'm happy, I’m sad and I'm lazy
EAA7E
I'm quiet and I’m loud, gatherin’ a crowd and I like gravy
EB7E
'Bout half off the wall but I learned it all in the Navy
Chorus:
EAB7E
So pick up the tempo just a little bit, take it on home
EF#B7A singer ain’t singin and the drummer’s been drinkin’ too long
EAA7E
Time’ll take care of itself so leave time alone
EB7E
Pick up the tempo just a little, take it on home
EB7EAE
Pick up the tempo just a little, take it on home
