C F Well, I used to laugh with an old friend 'til the busy world pulled him C away F C Every now and then I see him again but F G he's not the same man I knew yesterday C His smile just grows smaller and F smaller and the worry lines fill up C his face F C But lately I'm thinking the next time I G see him just what I'm gonna say [Chorus] C Slow down F C Man in the mirror, slow down F You're running too fast to see what C life's all about F C This world ain't a fire for you to put out F G The best times are here and now C Slow down [Verse 2] C F Some days I look back on the hard times C and they really don't seem all that bad C C Well, I've got to admit, I like what F I've got, but God I sure loved what I G had C F But it's only on top of the mountain F C after burning your life at both ends F C You look back to see where you want to F G be is exactly where you've always been [Chorus] C Slow down F C Man in the mirror, slow down F You're running too fast to see what C life's all about F C This world ain't a fire for you to put out F G The best times are here and now C Slow down
