G                       C                       G
People are saying that time takes care Of people like me

G                               A                       D
Say I'm living too fast and boy I can't last for much longer

G                               C                       G
Little they know their thoughts of me of a savior

G                       D                               G
Little they know that the beat ought a go a little faster
[Chorus]
G               C                               G
Pick up the tempo just a little bit and take it on home

G                               A                       D
Singers ain't singing and the drummer's been draggin' too long

Time will take care of itself so just leave time alone

[Verse 2]
G                               C               G
I'm wild and I'm mean, I'm creating a scene I'm goin' crazy

G                               A               D
I'm good and I'm bad, I'm happy and sad And I'm lazy

G                       C                       G
I'm wild and loud and I gather a crowd like gravy

G                       D                       G
Bout half off the wall but then I learned it all In the Navy
[Chorus]
G               C                               G

G                               A                       D
Singers ain't singing and the drummer's been draggin' too long

G                       C                       G
Time will take care of itself so just leave time alone

G                               D               C
Pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home

                G
Oh take it on home

G                       C                       G
Oh yeah now Time will take care of itself so just leave time alone
