Intro
[D] [E] [F#m7] [E] [D] [E]
Verse 1
[A/C#]16 hour workday j[E]ust to provide
[F#m7]Everything for his [E]little tyk[A/C#]e
No [D]time to sing a l[E]ullaby[E/G#]
Or gi[F#m7]ve him a piggyba[A/C#]ck rid[E/G#]e
[D]TV babysitter, t[E]oys are a bribe
As he sp[F#m7]eeds out the doorway
And the[A/C#] car leaves the driveway
[G] The boy [Gadd9]runs after his father
But his s[Bm]teps are too smal[A/C#]l
He st[Gadd9]retches out his hands to reach him
As he t[Bm]umbles and f[Esus4]alls[E]
Chorus
[F]Slow d[G]own,
I c[Am]an't keep [G/B]up wi[C]th you
[F]You're getting a l[G]ittle too quick
For [Am]me to [G/B]foll[C]ow
[F]Slow do[G]wn, you're ge[Am]tting a[G/D]way from[Dm7] me
And I d[Dm7]on't know how to s[G]low [G/B]you d[F]own[G][F][G][F]
Verse 2
[A/C#]60 years together wea[E]thering the ti[E/G#]mes
The [F#m7]good, the bad, the sweetes[E]t sighs[A/C#][E/G#]
Watching chil[D]dren of their chi[E]ldren [E/G#]smile
As they [F#m7]did when they walked down[A/C#] the a[E/G#]isle
[D]Walking canes and wheelchairs s[E]lowly w[E/G#]ind
[F#m7]Twirling the years, c[A/C#]urling their faces
[G] But now he's stu[Gadd9]mbling faster
To[Bm]wards that finish line[A]
She stre[G]tches out her h[Gadd9]ands to hold him
As he c[Bm]loses his e[Esus4]yes[E]
Chorus 2
[F]Slow d[G]own,
I c[Am]an't keep [G/B]up wi[C]th you
[F]You're getting a l[G]ittle too quick
For [Am]me to [G/B]foll[C]ow
[F]Slow do[G]wn, you're ge[Am]tting a[G/D]way from[Dm7] me
And I d[Dm7]on't know how to s[G]low [G/B]you d[F]own[G]
And I d[Am]on't know how to s[G]low y[F]ou d[G]own[Am][G/B][C][F][G]
And I d[Am]on't know how to s[G]low you d[F]own[G]
Last Chorus
[F]Slow d[G]own,
