Pick Up The Tempo(Chords)

	        
 
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 

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

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