Verse
G and D alternating improv pattern
Prechorus
C, G, D The C goes two beats, the G goes two beats the D goes four beats.
Chorus
, , , each chord lasts measure
No time now for losing tempers
or filling up with rage or anger
flying off the handle could be detrimental
calmer hands are called for here
Pre chorus
a breath or two might be applied
we'll count to ten and then decide
a rash decision - crash collision
damage done beyond repair
Chorus
kinder words here we could pick
a kind approach might do the trick
hurt you, hurt me, well that needs to stop
kinder words here we could choose
we've kind of got a lot to lose
the temperature we need that to drop
Verse 2
a wrong move now might spell disaster
a selfish one might spell it faster
let's relax, review the facts
for all involved that might be best
Prechorus
a world of difference might be made
if our next move could be delayed
we'll sort it out and we'll talk about
just what it was that caused this mess
Chorus
kinder words here we could pick
a kind approach might do the trick
hurt you, hurt me, that's the worst thing we could do
kinder words here we could choose
we've kind of got a lot to lose
watch what we say, don't walk away, we'll see it through
Repeat Chorus 1
kinder words here we could pick
a kind approach might do the trick
hurt you, hurt me, well that needs to stop
kinder words here we could choose
we've kind of got a lot to lose
the temperature we need that to drop
