[Verse 1]
Dm                       G
  Seek out the light between
Gm                   Bb          F 
  Time and confusion glowing up ahead 
Dm                     G
  Instead of slipping through 
Gm                       Bb                  F
  You bit off more, much more than you could chew 

[Chorus 1]
              C       Dm
You could not Swallow It
   Bb               C

And take the time to evolve

  Table manners and grace, how to wait your turn when 
Dm                        G
  Time came to clear your slate
Gm                      Bb               F 
  You had too much, had too much on your plate 

[Chorus 2]
              C       Dm
You could not Swallow It
   Bb               C
No baby you're not ready, slow down
    Dm        Bb        C
And take the time to evolve 
              C       Dm
You could not Swallow It 
   Bb               C            Bb     C                     
No baby you're not ready, slow down 

[Bridge]
A                      Dm
Take your medicine and crawl before you walk 
Bb                          C
Think it through before you open you open your mouth to talk 
A                  Dm
Be an advocate of joy 
Bb                            C          
Find your little heart's desire and 

[Chorus 3]

Follow it no baby you're not ready, slow down
    Dm        Bb        C
And take the time to evolve 
              C       Dm
You could not Swallow It 
   Bb               C            Bb     C                     
No baby you're not ready, slow down 

             C       Dm
You could not Swallow It
   Bb               C
No baby you're not ready, slow down
    Dm        Bb        C
And take the time to evolve

It's gonna be alright, you're a performer 
     Dm           Bb     C            Bb        C
Just take your time, but not too much time
