Take Five

Song : 
E
 
Am    Em

Em                 Am
won't you stop and take
              Em       Am
A little time out with me
Em        Am
Just take five
Em        Am       Em   Am
Just take five
Em             Am
Stop your busy day
                  Em     Am
And take the time out to see
   Em   Am   Em   Am
if I'm alive
 
Chorus :
 
F                  Dm7
Though I'm going out of my way
G              Em7
Just so I can pass by each day
Am7          Dm
Not a single word do we say
G            C            C7     
It's a pantomime and not a play
                 F        Dm7
Still I know our eyes often meet
               Em7         Am7
I feel tingles down to my feet
                   Dm7             G
When you smile that's much too discreet
G7            E7
Sends me on my way
 
E7             Am
Wouldn't it be better
          Em   Am
Not to be so polite
Em        Am  Em    Am
You could of- fer a light
Em             Am
Start a little conversation now
Em     Am     Em        Am
It's alright, just take five
Em        Am
Just take five
