D               A              Em
When I awaken, feelin' no pain visibly shaken,
waitin'
    A
to touch you again.
    D                            A
My temperature's risin, but I'm fallin'
a bit behind..
     Em                        A
and that ain't so surprising, we're gonna
          A7
take our own sweet time.

Chorus:
 D            A                  Bm
Baby, we can take our own sweet time
      G               D                   G
and spend it when we want to, cause it's yours
D    A
and mine.
D                  A           Bm
Let our love come easy and we find
        G
we can make it and
       D       A          D
we'll take our own sweet time.

I know when I hold you, it's a feelin'
I can't explain
But I never told you, I couldn't take it again
But now I'm ready, I am ready to make you mine
So I'm holdin steady, and we're gonna take our
own sweet time

Chorus - x3

we can make it and we'll take our own..
we can make it and we'll take our own sweet time.
