Verse 1:

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

Chorus:

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


Verse 2:

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


[Chorus)

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