[Verse 1]
C                                
Shed a tear cause I'm missing you
G                         
I'm still alright to smile
A                            D      Dsus2
Girl I think about you every day now
C                            
Was a time when I wasn't sure
       G                   
But you set my mind at ease
A                                D       Dsus2
There is no doubt, you're in my heart now

[Chorus]
C           G           
Said woman, take it slow
      C                Em 
It'll work itself out fine
C              G              D     Dsus2 D
All we need is just a little patience
C           G               
Said sugar, make it slow and
      C              Em 
It'll come together fine
C              G              D     Dsus2 D
All we need is just a little patience
D      D  Dsus2  D  
Patience (whispered)
D  D  Dsus4  D  Dsus2  D 
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh
D  Dsus2 D  Dsus4  DDsus2

[Verse 2]
C                       
I sit here on the stairs
         G               
Cause I'd rather be alone
   A                         
If I can't have you right now
      D        Dsus2
I'll wait, dear
C                       
Sometimes I get so tense
      G                      
But I can't speed up the time
    A                                    
But you know love, there's one more thing
       D   Dsus2
To consider

[Chorus]
C           G           
Said woman, take it slow
    C                    Em 
And things will be just fine
C                 G             D      Dsus2
You and I’ll just use a little patience
C           G            
Said sugar, take the time
          C                    Em  
Cause the lights are shining bright
C                G                 D     Dsus2
You and I've got what it takes to make it
   D            Dsus2
We won't fake it
 Dsus2 D                  Dsus2
Ahh,   I'll never break it
Dsus2   D            Dsus2
Cause I can't take it

[Verse 3]
D                                    
I've been walking the streets tonight
G                          
Just trying to get it right
D                                   
It's hard to see with so many around
    G                                         
You know I don’t like being stuck in the crowd
        D                                       
And the streets don't change but maybe the names
G                            
I ain't got time for the game
         D      
Cause I need you
                  G       
Yeah yeah, well I need you
         F       
Ooooh, I need you
       G       
Woh, I need you
            D   G
Ooooh, this time
