G      G/B            C       D
We've got to put our heads together
G    G/B              C       D
I'm sure that we can work it out
G    G/B             C  D
I'm weighin' up the situation.

Chorus:
      G          C
And checkin' it out
 D         C
Takin' it further
Takin' it further
And checkin' it out

This is a workin' situation
I'm tellin' you without a doubt
We've gotta pull it all in tight, baby

Chorus:
Checkin' it out
Takin' it further
Takin' it further
And checkin' it out

Bm
And the obstacles along the way
                Am
Sometimes may feel so tremendous
Bm                                 C
There are guides and spirits all along the way
             D
Who will befriend us

Let's talk it out across the table
Make sure that we leave nothin' out
Get into it like a meditation

Chorus:
Start checkin' it out
Takin' it further
Takin' it further
And checkin' it out (Yeah baby, yeah)

And all, all the obstacles along the way
Not be tremendous, tremendous
There are guides and spirits all along the way
Who will befriend us

Let's talk it out across the table
Make sure that we leave nothin' out
Get into it like a meditation

Chorus:
And start checkin' it out
Takin' it further
Takin' it further
Checkin' it out

Checkin' it out, now baby
Checkin' it out
Checkin' it out (Shh)
You meditate
You meditate
You meditate
And, and you come back
You come back
You bring it up now, baby
You bring it up now, baby
You bring it up
You bring it up now
Your lovin' cup now
Your lovin' cup now
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
