[Intro]
Em    C           Dsus2
 Somehow I always knew
Em            C                   
 I’d bite the curb out spills the 
Dsus2
proof
Em          C              Dsus2
 The letter in your pocket now I
                     Em
 can’t escape the truth
     C                Dsus2
 Surprises so violent stop with the 
silence
        D  Em C
Who is she to you

[Verse 1]
Em                   C           
 Tell me why tell me why my whole
         D
 world’s starting to shake
Em                       C       
 Cause ain’t nobody ever tell you
                                D
 what it feels like when you’re bout
 to break
       Em   C   D              
 I get nervous, tell me what’s her 
Em
name
         C                       D
 I see a lot of missed calls and now
 I’m going off
 D
 Don’t tell me it’s ok
Em          C            
 A storm is swallowing this 
   D
interstate
Em                C              
 When it rains it pours and the 
       D
pain is coming in waves
      Em   C    D               
 Stay surfaced, love can’t hold you 
Em
down
     C     D
 So I will drive

[Chorus]
Em       C
 Slow me down
Dsus2
 I’m burning out of control
Em           C      Dsus2  C
 So far from heaven now   (Pull me 
back)
Continues after the ad

Em       C
 Slow me down
Dsus2
 It’s like you’ve stolen my soul
Em           C      Dsus2
 So far from heaven now

[Verse 2]
Em        C               D
 I can’t stand that streetlight, I’m
 rolling out of bed
Em       C             D
 Again I belong to the night, I’m a 
mess
         Em C    D            Em
 Pull me over, I can’t forget her 
name
       C                D
 Or my urge to put this barrel to 
your face
Em             C             D
 This storm is swallowing my sanity
Em          C                    
 And all our memories are tainted
          D
 with her cheap perfume
Em        C            D
 Eighteen years thrown away in a day
          Em      C    D
 Somebody stop me now, before I get 
to you

[Chorus]
Em       C
 Slow me down
Dsus2
 I’m burning out of control
Em           C      Dsus2  C
 So far from heaven now   (Pull me 
back)
Em       C
 Slow me down
Dsus2
 It’s like you’ve stolen my soul
Em           C      Dsus2
 So far from heaven now

[Break]
       Em        C
 My son, I gotta thank you for 
calling
     D                         
 Not sure who I would be if you 
                           Em
stopped looking out for me (You 
stopped looking out for me)
     C            D
 Somehow I always knew (Let me know 
when I need to)
Em         C    D
 Slow you down, you’re burning out 
of control
Em           C      D
 So far from heaven now

[Chorus]
Em       C
 Slow me down
Dsus2
 I’m burning out of control
Em           C      Dsus2  C
 So far from heaven now   (Pull me 
back)
Em       C
 Slow me down
Dsus2
 It’s like you’ve stolen my soul
Em           C      Dsus2
 So far from heaven now

[Other]
               Em       C
 You’ve got to slow me down
D
 I’m burning out of control
Em           C      D    C
 So far from heaven now (Pull me 
back)
Em       C
 Slow me down
D
 It’s like you’ve stolen my soul
Em           C      D
 So far from heaven now
