Take your time    (video)

 

    Em - Am

 

   Em

1.       I don't know if you were looking at me or not,

 

    you probably smile like that all the time.

 

    And I don't mean to bother you but

                                  Am

    I couldn't just walk by and not say hi.

                               Em

    And I know your name

 

    'cause everybody in here knows your name,

 

    and you're not looking for anything right now.

                                                 Am

    So I don't wanna come on strong, don't get me wrong,

 

    your eyes are so intimidating.

Em

    My heart is pounding but it's just a conversation,

 

    no, girl, I'm not gonna waste it,

                             Am

    you don't know me, I don't know you, but I want to.

 

G                                                    - Bm                                            Em

    I don't wanna steal your freedom,     I don't wanna change your mind,

                                                      - C                                        G

I don't have to make you love me,       I just want to take your time.

                                                    - Bm                                     Em

I don't wanna wreck your Friday,         I ain't gonna waste my lines,

                                                 - C                                       G

I don't have to take your heart,        I just wanna take your time.

 

                           Em

2. And I know it starts with hello,

 

    and the next thing you know you're trying to be nice,

 

    and some guys getting too close,

                               Am

    trying to pick you up, trying to get you drunk.

                                            Em

    And I'm sure one of your friends is about to come over here,

 

    'cause she's supposed to save you from random guys

                                                                 Am

    that talk too much and wanna stay too long, it's the same old song

 

    and dance, but I think you know it well.

Em

    You could've rolled your eyes, told me to go to hell,

                                                                Am

    could've walked away, but you're still here, and I'm still here.

 

    Come on let's see where it goes !
