Slow Down chords by Chris Ledoux

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
      C                        F
Well, I used to laugh with an old friend 'til the busy world pulled him
  C
 away
       F              C
Every now and then I see him again but
                          F         G
 he's not the same man I knew yesterday
     C
His smile just grows smaller and
  F
 smaller and the worry lines fill up
      C
 his face
      F                      C
But lately I'm thinking the next time I
                             G
 see him just what I'm gonna say

Chorus:
      C
Slow down
F                        C
Man in the mirror, slow down
        F
You're running too fast to see what
  C
 life's all about
      F                      C
This world ain't a fire for you to put out
     F                       G
The best times are here and now
      C
Slow down


Verse 2:
      C                       F
Some days I look back on the hard times
                                     C
and they really don't seem all that bad
            C               C
Well, I've got to admit, I like what
                F
 I've got, but God I sure loved what I
 G
had
          C                    F
But it's only on top of the mountain
        F                        C
after burning your life at both ends
     F                      C
You look back to see where you want to
         F                         G
be is exactly where you've always been


Chorus:
      C
Slow down
 F                       C
Man in the mirror, slow down
          F
You're running too fast to see what
 C
life's all about
      F                      C
This world ain't a fire for you to put out
      F                      G
The best times are here and now
      C
Slow down
