(Intro) Ab C# Bbm C#  x4

(Verse 1)
Ab                     C# Bbm                    C#
Mommy's in the kitchen, cooking up something good
Ab                     C# Bbm                    C#
And daddy's on the sofa, pride of the neighborhood
Ab                     C# Bbm                    C#
My brother's in the ballet, it seems he's got it set
Ab                     C# Bbm                    C#
And I'll be up at midnight, with my cigarette

(Chorus)
Ab        E7(9)       A           Bbm
Ooh when life moves this slowly
Ab        E7(9)       A           Bbm
Ooh just try and let it go
Ab        E7(9)       A           Bbm
Ooh when life moves this slowly
Ab        E7(9)       A           Bbm
Ooh just try and let it go

(Verse 2)
Ab                     C# Bbm                     C#
Daddy's in the basement, cooking up something fine
Ab                     C# Bbm                          C#
While rick's out on the pavement, flipping it for dimes
Ab                     C# Bbm                          C#
If there's anything redeeming, I haven't seen it yet
Ab                     C# Bbm                    C#
And I'm still up at midnight, chewing nicorette

(Chorus)
Ab        E7(9)       A           Bbm
Ooh when life moves this slowly
Ab        E7(9)       A           Bbm
Ooh just try and let it go
Ab        E7(9)       A           Bbm
Ooh when life moves this slowly
Ab        E7(9)       A           Bbm
Ooh just try and let it go

(Outro) Ab, E7(9)
