Slow Down

D   E    F#m7    E    D    E

[Verse 1]
A/C#             E
16 hour workday just to provide
F#m7               E         A/C#
Everything for his little tyke
   D               E     E/G#
No time to sing a lullaby
     F#m7            A/C#  E/G#
Or give him a piggyback ride
D               E
TV babysitter, toys are a bribe
        F#m7
As he speeds out the doorway
       A/C#
And the car leaves the driveway
G         Gadd9
  The boy runs after his father
         Bm               A/C#
But his steps are too small
     Gadd9
He stretches out his hands to reach 
him
       Bm          Esus4 E
As he tumbles and falls


[Chorus]
F     G
Slow down,
   Am        G/B  C
I can't keep up with you
F                 G
You're getting a little too quick

For me to follow
F      G            Am     G/D  
Slow down, you're getting away 
   Dm7
from me
       Dm7               G   
And I don't know how to slow you 
G/B  F    G    F     G    F
down


[Verse 2]
A/C#                 E        
60 years together weathering the 
     E/G#
times
    F#m7                      
The good, the bad, the sweetest 
E      A/C#  E/G#
sighs
             D                E   
Watching children of their 
  E/G#
children smile
        F#m7                     
As they did when they walked down
A/C#  E/G#
 the aisle
D                              E 
Walking canes and wheelchairs 
     E/G#
slowly wind
F#m7                 A/C#
Twirling the years, curling their 
faces
G                 Gadd9
  But now he's stumbling faster
  Bm                    A
Towards that finish line
        G              Gadd9
She stretches out her hands to hold 
him
       Bm         Esus4 E
As he closes his eyes


[Chorus 2]
F     G
Slow down,
   Am        G/B  C
I can't keep up with you
F                 G
You're getting a little too quick
    Am    G/B C
For me to follow
F      G            Am     G/D  
Slow down, you're getting away 
   Dm7
from me
       Dm7               G   
And I don't know how to slow you 
G/B  F    G
down
       Am                G    
And I don't know how to slow you 
F   G    Am   G/B C  F   G
down
       Am                G     
And I don't know how to slow you 
   F    G
down


[Last Chorus]
F     G
Slow down,
   Am        G/B  C
I can't keep up with you
F                 G
You're getting a little too quick
    Am    G/B C
For me to follow
F      G            Am     G/D  
Slow down, you're getting away 
   Dm7
from me
       Dm7               G   
And I don't know how to slow you 
G/B  F    G    F     G    F
down
