Pick Up The Tempo Chords & Lyrics - Jack Ingram

Capo 2

[D]People are saying that [G]time?ll take [A7]care of [D]people like me
And I'm [D]living too fast, Lord you [E7]know it can?t last too much [A7]longer
But [D]little they see that [G]their thoughts of [A7]me is my [D]savior
And they [D]really should know that the [A7]beat ought to go a little [D]faster

[CHORUS]
[D]So pick up the tempo just a [G]little, [A7]take it on [D]home
A [D]singer ain?t singin and the [E7]drummer?s been drinkin? too [A7]long
[D]Time?ll take care of it[G]self so [A7]leave time a[D]lone
[D]Pick up the tempo just a [A7]little, take it on [D]home

[Change Key to]
I'm [E]wild and I'm mean, and I'm cre[A]ating a [B7]scene, I'm goin' [E]crazy
I'm [E]good and I'm bad, I'm [F#]happy, I?m sad and I'm [B7]lazy
I'm [E]quiet and I?m loud, [A]gatherin? a [A7]crowd and I like [E]gravy
'Bout [E]half off the wall but [B7]I learned it all in the [E]Navy

[CHORUS]
So [E]pick up the tempo just a [A]little bit, [B7]take it on [E]home
A [E]singer ain?t singin and the [F#]drummer?s been drinkin? too l[B7]ong
[E]Time?ll take care of it[A]self so [A7]leave time a[E]lone
[E]Pick up the tempo just a [B7]little, take it on [E]home
