Some people are [G] saying that time will take care [A] of people [D] like me
That I'm living too [E] fast and they say that I [A] can't last much longer
[D] But little do they see that [G] their thoughts of me is my savior
And they really should know [A] that the beat ought to [D] go a little faster
So pick up the tempo [G] just a little [D] and take it on home
The singer ain't singing [E] and the drummer's been dragging [A] too long
[D] Time will take care of [G] itself so [A] just leave [D] time alone
Pick up the tempo [G] just a little and take it [D] on home
Well [E] I'm wild and I'm mean [A] and I'm creating a scene and [E] going crazy
Well I'm good and I'm bad [F#] and I'm happy and I'm sad [B] and I'm lazy
[E] I'm quiet and I'm [A] loud and I'm gathering a crowd [E] and I like gravy
About half off the wall [B] where I learned it all [E] in the Navy
So pick up the tempo [A] just a little [B] and take [E] it on home
The singer ain't [F#] singing and the drummer's been dragging [B] too long
[E] Time will take [A] care of itself [E] so just leave time alone
Pick up the tempo [A] just a little and [E] take it on home
Pick up the [A] tempo just a [B] little and [A] take it on home
