A   F#m  D    A
D   A    F#m  E

Verse 1:
A         F#m
  Let me take your hand
        D                    A
There's something I want to show you
D                    A
Close your eyes and you can hear
    F#m           E
The music in the wind
A             F#m
  Out on the pier
           D           A
That's the Ike & Tina Soul Revue
D                       A
I don't know what this means to you
           F#m            E
But it was everything to me
     E
I was free as the sun
E

Shining on our faces
E
Free as the light that comes down
E
From some other places

Chorus:
     A           F#m
Slow down, slow down
     D                A
It's moving much too fast
D                       A
  I can't live in this moment
         F#m             E
When I'm tangled in the past

Verse 2:
A            F#m
  Won't you take my coat
D                A
Baby, won't you wear it
           D               A
There's so much I want to share with you
    F#m               E
Every little thing I am
A                F#m
Put your arms around my body
D                A
Feel your skin against my skin
D                 A
This is where my life begins
F#m                E
Begins again with you
E
The past is gone
E
But it still live inside of me
E
Hold on tight
      E
As we slip into this revelry

Chorus:
     A           F#m
Slow down, slow down
     D                A
It's moving much too fast
D                       A
  I can't live in this moment
         F#m                    E
When I'm stumbling through the past
     A           F#m
Slow down, slow down
D              A
Yeah it’s too fast

Gotta let go of the past
