D                      G            A7      D
People are saying that time’ll take care of people like me

        D                         E7                          A7
And I'm living too fast, Lord you know it can’t last too much longer

    D                    G                 A7       D
But little they see that their thoughts of me is my savior

         D                           A7                        D
And they really should know that the beat ought to go a little faster
Chorus:
D                           G       A7         D
So pick up the tempo just a little, take it on home

  D                           E7                          A7
A singer ain’t singin and the drummer’s been drinkin’ too long

D                      G       A7          D
Time’ll take care of itself so leave time alone

D                        A7                 D
Pick up the tempo just a little, take it on home

'Bout half off the wall but I learned it all in the Navy
