Take a Little Time
Longmire, 1997


         A            C#m           Bm            E7
I gotta take a little time, I gotta set it all straight,
   A         C#m          Bm            E7
I can't push this one, I think I better wait,
     A       C#m      Bm         E7
The time is right for me to hesitate,
         F#m                          E7
I better take a little time & get it right now,


     A         C#m          Bm                 E7
You can't go faster if you don't know where to go,
     A           C#m            Bm         E7
You can't think quicker if you just don't know,
     A          C#m             Bm        E7
You can't rush things that are naturally slow,
           F#m                          E7
You better take a little time & get it right now,


      D         C#m           Bm               A
	Just quit pushin, let it happen like it should,
          D          C#m         Bm                A
	You ought to be glad if you did the best you could,
      D       C#m         Bm          A
	Then let go & it'll probably be good,
                 F#m                          E7
	Yeah if you take a little time & get it right now,


     A           C#m         Bm           E7
You work it up & let it go & see what it does,
       A         C#m       Bm           E7
If it ain't right then it prob'ly never was,
          A     C#m       Bm     E7
And the problem could be just because,
           F#m                         E7
You didn't take enough time to get it right now,
