Pick Up The Tempo

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

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

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

[Outro]
E                        B7                 E      A   E
Pick up the tempo just a little, take it on home
