Verse 1:
C majorC FF
Well, I used to laugh with an old friend 'til the busy world pulled him
C majorC
away
FF C majorC
Every now and then I see him again but
FF G+G
he's not the same man I knew yesterday
C majorC
His smile just grows smaller and
FF
smaller and the worry lines fill up
C majorC
his face
FF C majorC
But lately I'm thinking the next time I
G+G
see him just what I'm gonna say
Chorus:
C majorC
Slow down
FF C majorC
Man in the mirror, slow down
FF
You're running too fast to see what
C majorC
life's all about
FF C majorC
This world ain't a fire for you to put out
FF G+G
The best times are here and now
C majorC
Slow down

C majorC FF
Some days I look back on the hard times
C majorC
and they really don't seem all that bad
C majorC C majorC
Well, I've got to admit, I like what
FF
I've got, but God I sure loved what I
G+G
had
C majorC FF
But it's only on top of the mountain
FF C majorC
after burning your life at both ends
FF C majorC
You look back to see where you want to
FF G+G
be is exactly where you've always been
Chorus:
C majorC
Slow down
FF C majorC
Man in the mirror, slow down

You're running too fast to see what

life's all about
FF C majorC
This world ain't a fire for you to put out

The best times are here and now
