It's not essential that I feel you

But it's a sensitive device
C                       A
I'm reverential when I hear you
C                     A
I genuflect to your advice
C                      A
Well, I wish I had the words
C                         A
And I want those words to rhyme

And I wish I had the nerve

'Cus I sure don't have the time

Get me back on my feet

Brother, can you spare the time?
