Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
G+G
I hear you're leaving town
D MajorD
'Cause you're tired of hanging around
C majorC       C/GC/G
The same city limit signs
G+G          C majorC
You've been waiting around your whole life
G+G
Just like a baby bird
D MajorD
Nervous when it first learned
C majorC
To spread its wings
  C/GC/G     G+G
And fly into the air

Pre-Chorus:
D MajorD
Now I've got to tell you something

These words might hurt

But please hold them long enough
       G+G   D MajorD    C majorC
To feel their weight as they plead


Chorus:
G+G     D MajorD
Slow down, slow down
    C majorC
Grab a coffee here with me
     G+G      D MajorD
And take a second to breathe
G+G     D MajorD
Slow down, slow down
     C majorC
Let's be quiet for a while
      G+G        D MajorD
And I will try to make you smile
G+G
Slow down


Verse 2:
G+G
You love it when it rains
D MajorD
'Cause it always washes away
  C majorC        C/GC/G
The dirt between the cracks
    G+G           D MajorD
Of everything that we think we see
G+G
Now all your bags are packed
 D MajorD
Your father's head tips back
C majorC         C/GC/G
Into the chair that he sits
     G+G        D MajorD
While he watches you slip away

Pre-Chorus:
     D MajorD
He cries, "Will you please forgive me, darling

I can't keep living brokenhearted

First it was your mother
     G+G   D MajorD   C majorC
Now it's bound to be you"


Chorus:
G+G     D MajorD
Slow down, slow down
      C majorC
What about all our memories
        G+G         D MajorD
When you would dance and sing for me
G+G     D MajorD
Slow down, slow down
       C majorC
What happened to my baby girl
      G+G       D MajorD
Who used to sit on top the world
G+G
Slow down


Verse 3:
 E minorEm
You can travel the world
    C majorC          G+G
Just as fast as your feet'll go
E minorEm
Graze the Atlantic shorelines
     C majorC     G+G
Sleep in hotels of Tokyo
   E minorEm
Lose everything in Vegas
    C majorC         G+G
Then go falling in love in Spain
     E minorEm
But like Arizona's canyons
 C majorC      G+G
A augmentedA hole in you remains


Pre-Chorus:
D MajorD
I just want you to believe

That the invisible frame's what we see

And it's as beautiful as a baby's eyes
             G+G   D MajorD     C majorC
And as incredible as the first time they breathe


Chorus:
G+G     D MajorD
Slow down, slow down
    C majorC
Grab a coffee here with me
      G+G     D MajorD
And take a second to breathe
   G+G     D MajorD
Slow down, slow down
     C majorC
Let's be quiet for a while
      G+G        D MajorD
And I will try to make you smile
  G+G
Slow down
