Verse 1:

   D MajorD    NO STRUM     B minorBm             E minorEm
The smoke and the booze don't treat me like they did back then.
           G+G                 D MajorD
Those little white pills we took to forget where we'd been.
  D MajorD                B minorBm          E minorEm
And I've seen first-hand what the needle has done to my friend.
           G+G                   D MajorD
Thank God I'm still here to stay away from the places I've been.

Chorus:

    C majorC         G+G             D MajorD
You've got to slow down while we can still see the miles.
       A minorAm          G+G         D MajorD
Put on the brakes in the fast lane and rest for a while.
   C majorC              G+G             D MajorD
You live with your demons long enough they seem like your friends.
       A minorAm          G+G         D MajorD
Put on the brakes in the fast lane before your road ends.


Verse 2:

    D MajorD          B minorBm           E minorEm
That first cigarette didn’t do much, the second one did.
            G+G              D MajorD
That first taste of whiskey was good when I was a kid.
     D MajorD           B minorBm              E minorEm
So, I’ll tell you first-hand I’ve been there, I know where you are.
        G+G                D MajorD
In ways I am still that kid with eyes for the stars.


[Chorus)

    C majorC         G+G             D MajorD
You've got to slow down while we can still see the miles.
       A minorAm          G+G         D MajorD
Put on the brakes in the fast lane and rest for a while.
   C majorC              G+G             D MajorD
You live with your demons long enough they seem like your friends.
       A minorAm          G+G         D MajorD
Put on the brakes in the fast lane before your road ends.
       A minorAm          G+G         D MajorD
Put on the brakes in the fast lane before your road ends.
