Verse 1:
E            Bm
 He seemed impressed
       E7
by the way you came in
 Bm                 E
"Tell us a story, I know you're not boring."
Bm                      E7
  I was afraid that you would not insist
 Bm
"You sound so sleepy,
     E              N.C.
just take this, now leave me."
         Bm
I said, "Please don't slow me down
              E
if I'm going too fast."
Bm                  E           N.C.

    F#                 G
Our lives are changing lanes,
    A              D
you ran me off the road

"I thought I told you,

this world is not for you."
Bm
The room is on fire
         E
as she's fixing her hair
 Bm
"You sound so angry,
     E
just calm down, you found me."
         Bm
I said, "Please don't slow me down
              E
if I'm going too fast."
Bm                  E           N.C.
