Take Five Chords

(ver. 1)
Dave Brubeck
This is the original key, a capo version is below.
For guitar, a Cb is exactly the same as a B. 

Bbm                Ebm
won't you stop and take
              Bbm      Ebm
A little time out with me
Bbm       Ebm
Just take five
Bbm       Ebm
Just take five
Bbm            Ebm
Stop your busy day
                  Bbm    Ebm
And take the time out to see 
   Bbm  Ebm  Bbm Ebm
if i'm alive
 
Bbm              Cbmaj7
Though i'm going out of my way
Abm7          Bbm7
Just so i can pass by each day
Ebm7         Abm7
Not a single word do we say
Db7         Gbmaj7
It's a pantomime and not a play
Gbmaj7           Cbmaj7           
Still i know our eyes often meet
Abm7           Bbm7
I feel tingles down to my feet
Ebm7                  Abm7
When you smile that's much too discreet
Db7            F7 
Sends me on my way

Bb7            Ebm
Wouldn't it be better
          Bbm  Ebm
Not to be so polite
Bbm       Ebm Bbm   Ebm 
You could of- fer a light
Bbm            Ebm                
Start a little conversation now
Bbm    Ebm   Bbm       Ebm
It's alright just take five
Bbm       Ebm
Just take five
