Am Bm Em Am
So far from where I started out
Bm Em Am
So far from where I wanna be
Bm Em Am
Listening for answers in the wind
Bm Em Am
But can't find a rock to plant my feet
Bm Em Am
Looking for love in all the wrong places
Bm Em Am
Down on my knees and now I'm praying for patience
Bm Em Am
I know there's gotta be a better way
Bm Em
In the back of my mind I hear my momma say
[Chorus]
Am Bm E7
Slow down, Baby you're going too fast
Am
You got you hands in the air
Dm E7
With you feet on the gas
Am
You're 'bout to wreck your future
Bm E7
Running from your past
Am F Bb
You need to slow down baby
[Verse 2]
Am Bm Em Am
Thinking the faster that I go
Bm Em Am
The faster (that) I will reach my goal
Bm Em Am
The race is not given to the swift
Bm Em Am
But to the one who endure-eth
Bm Em Am
I thought that all my obstacles were behind me
Bm Em Am
Walking around like I'm made out of diamond
Bm Em Am
I tripped and fell and it reminded me
Bm Em
Move over and let the angels guide me
[Chorus]
Am Bm E7
Slow down, Baby you're going too fast
Am
You got you hands in the air
Dm E7
With you feet on the gas
Am
You're 'bout to wreck your future
Bm E7
Running from your past
Am F Bbmaj7
You need to slow down baby
[Bridge]
N.C. Em
Sometimes you gotta be still
Dm7
Before you can get ahead
Be still
Em
Ask the universe for help
Be real
Dm7
You can't do it all by yourself
Ah, no no
Em
Sometimes, sometimes you gotta be still
Dm7
Take some time to rejuvenate
Be still
Em
Take some time to clear your space
Be real
Dm7
Chaos isn't good for your health
Dm Bbmaj7 Am
Ah, no no, ahhh - ahhhhh
[Instrumental]
Am E A Em Am E Am G
[Verse 3]
Am Em
Cuz I'm breaking things and I'm losing things
Am Dm7
I lost myself at the end of the day
Am Dm7
Now, I don't wanna live this way, no
Am Dm
In the back of my mind I hear my mama say
[Chorus]
Am Dm E7
Slow down, Baby you're going too fast
Am
You got you hands in the air
Dm E7
With you feet on the gas
N.C.
You're 'bout to wreck your future
Dm E7
Running from your past
Am F
You need to slow down baby
[Outro]
Am F Dm
Slow down (baby)
(You're going too fast)
Am F Dm
Slow down (baby)
(Feet on the gas)
Am F Dm
Slow down (baby)
(Run from your past)
N.C.
Slow down (baby) (4x)
