Slow Down Acoustic chords by Nichole Nordeman

Intro:

C  F  G x2

Verse 1:

        C
Here’s to you

         F
You were pink or blue

G
And everything I wanted

        C
Here’s to you

          F
Never sleeping through

G
From midnight till the morning

       Am           G
Had to crawl before you walked

           C
Before you ran


Before I knew it

Am                 C         G               C
You were trying to free your fingers from my hand


                       F            Bb
‘Cause you could it on your own now somehow



Chorus:

 C
Slow down

          G
Won’t you stay here a minute more

 Am                             F
I know you want to walk through the door

            C
But it’s all too fast

             G
Let’s make it last a little while

Am                   F
I pointed to the sky and now you wanna fly

Dm       C
I am your biggest fan

F      Em          C
I hope you know I am

Dm                           C#
But do you think you can somehow

Slow down


Instrumental:

C  F  G x2


Verse 2:

          C
Here’s to you

              F
Every missing tooth

G
Every bedtime story

          C                  F
Here’s to Barbie cars, light saber wars

G
Sleeping in on Sunday

       Am
Had to crawl

           G
Before you walked

          C
Before you ran

Before I knew it

         G
You were teaching me

                    C
The only thing love can


Hold hands through it

          F      C      Bb     Dm   Bb
When it’s scary, you’ve got me


Chorus:

C
Slow down

But it’s all too fast

             G
Let’s make it last a little while

Am                   F
I pointed to the sky and now you wanna fly

I am your biggest fan

C    Am                       Dm
But someday you’ll understand

You’ll hold a little hand
