D MajorD  E MajorE  F#m7F#m7  E MajorE  D MajorD  E MajorE

Verse 1
A/C#A/C#       E MajorE
16 hour workday just to provide
F#m7F#m7        E MajorE     A/C#A/C#
Everything for his little tyke
  D MajorD        E MajorE   E/G#
No time to sing a lullaby
   F#m7F#m7      A/C#A/C# E/G#
Or give him a piggyback ride
D MajorD        E MajorE
TV babysitter, toys are a bribe
    F#m7F#m7
As he speeds out the doorway
    A/C#A/C#
And the car leaves the driveway
G+G     Gadd9Gadd9
 The boy runs after his father
     B minorBm        A/C#A/C#
But his steps are too small
   Gadd9Gadd9
He stretches out his hands to reach him
    B minorBm     Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
As he tumbles and falls


Chorus
FF   G+G
Slow down,
  A minorAm    G/BG/B C majorC
I can't keep up with you
FF         G+G
You're getting a little too quick
  A minorAm  G/BG/B C majorC
For me to follow
FF   G+G      A minorAm   G/DG/D   Dm7Dm7
Slow down, you're getting away from me
    Dm7Dm7        G+G  G/BG/B FF  G+G  FF   G+G  FF
And I don't know how to slow you down

Verse 2
A/C#A/C#         E MajorE       E/G#
60 years together weathering the times
  F#m7F#m7           E MajorE   A/C#A/C# E/G#
The good, the bad, the sweetest sighs
       D MajorD        E MajorE   E/G#
Watching children of their children smile
    F#m7F#m7           A/C#A/C# E/G#
As they did when they walked down the aisle
D MajorD               E MajorE   E/G#
Walking canes and wheelchairs slowly wind
F#m7F#m7         A/C#A/C#
Twirling the years, curling their faces
G+G         Gadd9Gadd9
 But now he's stumbling faster
 B minorBm          A augmentedA
Towards that finish line
    G+G       Gadd9Gadd9
She stretches out her hands to hold him
    B minorBm     Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
As he closes his eyes


Chorus 2

For me to follow

Slow down, you're getting away from me
    Dm7Dm7        G+G  G/BG/B FF  G+G
And I don't know how to slow you down
    A minorAm        G+G  FF  G+G  A minorAm  G/BG/B C majorC FF  G+G
And I don't know how to slow you down

And I don't know how to slow you down
