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

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]

A [E]singer ain't singin and the [F#]drummer's been drinkin' too l[B7]ong
