                     Am7                    
Just stop and take a little time out with me
Dm7                             
Oh just take five just take five
Dm                                             
Stop your busy day and take the time out to see
         Dm             
That I'm alive I'm alive
                              Fmaj7
Oh though I'm going out of my way  
                   Am7        
Just so I can pass by each day
D7           Gm7           
Not a single word do we say
       F7                       
It's a pantomime I'm out of time
                            Bbmaj7
Still I know our eyes often meet  
       Am7                    
I feel tingles down to my feet
                      Gm7              
When you smile that's much too discreet
         Gm7      
Sends me on my way
A7                 Dm                  Dm7   
Now wouldn't it be better not to be so polite
                     Dm7    
When you could offer a light
                                 Dm7             
Just start a little conversation now it's alright

                                       Ebm7
