[Verse 1]
Dsus                       F#m
    Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you
A                       F#m/A
  I'm still alright to smile
B7                            E       E Esus4 E
Girl, I think about you every day now
Dsus                   F#m
    Was a time when I wasn't sure
A                    F#m/A
  You set my mind at ease
B7                                E        E Esus4 E
  There ain’t doubt you're in my heart now
[Chorus]
D             F#m/C#                  D                F#m7
  Said “woman take it slow, and it'll work itself out fine”
D              Asus4 A       Esus4 E
All we need is just a little patience
D            F#m/C#                 D              F#m7
 Said "sugar make it slow and we'll come together fine"
D              Asus4 A       Esus4 E
All we need is just a little patience
[Verse 2]
Dsus           F#m
    I sit here on the stairs
A              F#m/A
I'd rather be alone
B7                                  E         E Esus4 E
If I can't have you right now, I'll wait dear
Dsus            F#m
    Sometimes I get so tense
A                  F#m/A
Can't speed up the time
B7                                             E     E Esus4 E
But you know love there's one more thing to consider
[Chorus]
D             F#m/C#           D                    F#m7
  Said "woman take it slow and things will be just fine"
D                    Asus4 A       Esus4 E
If you and I'll just use a little patience
D            F#m/C#                   D                   F#m7
 Said "sugar take the time 'cause the lights are shining bright"
D              Asus4 A          Esus4 E  Esus4 E

[Interlude] - Strum all strings. D and F#m have their regular shapes in this section -
D                      F#m
 I've been walking the streets at night
A               F#m/A
 Just trying to get it right
D                      F#m
 It's hard to see with so many around
A                            F#m
You know I don't like being stuck in the crowd
       D                          A
And the streets don't change but maybe the names
F#m                   A                           B7                D      Esus4 E
You know I ain't got time for the game 'cause I need you...yeah I need you
[Chorus]
D             F#m/C#               D                F#m7
  Said “woman take it slow, it'll work itself out fine”
D              Asus4 A       Esus4 E
All we need is just a little patience
D            F#m/C#                D              F#m7
 Said "sugar make it slow we will come together fine"
D              Asus4 A       Esus4 E  Esus4 E
All we need is just a little patience
