[Verse 1]
E
Sittin' at a poker table
A
Holdin' kings and threes
E
So far lady luck, hmm
A
Sure has been good to me
D C#m
I should quit while I'm ahead, but I'll hang around instead
Bm E
And the dealer asked, "What would you settle for?"
N/C A
And I said just a little more,
[Chorus]
A
I need just a little more
Bm
A little more than I've got
D
And I've got all that I can spend
E
And I can't spend it fast enough
A Bm
But if the truth be known, I can't quit on my own
D E
And I spend all my life waitin' for just a little more
[Verse]
E A
Havin' a drink here on my favorite stool
E A
I know that a couple has turned into a few
D
And the bartender says to me
C#m
"Son, I think it's time you leave"
Bm E
If you don't mind headin' for the door
N/C A
But I ask for just a little more
[Chorus]
A
I need just a little more
Bm
A little more than I've had
D
And I've had all that a man should
E
And I should leave and not come back
A Bm
But if the truth be known I can't quit on my own
D E A
And I spend all my life waitin' for just a little more
[LEAD]
A, E, A
[Verse 3]
E A
Too many late nights and all of the above
E
You've tried to help me for so long
A
But you finally had enough
D
And you tell me that you're gonna leave
C#m
As you're holding on to me
Bm (one strum) E A
But before you let me go, hold me just a little more
[Chorus 3]
A
I need just a little more
Bm
A little more time
D E
Time for me to end all these hurtin' ways of mine
A Bm
And Lord, I know you give me all the strength that I need
D E
But I'm down here on my knees prayin' for
A
Just a little more
Just a little more
