Slow Down

Am            Bm      Em      Am
  So far from where I started out
            Bm      Em    Am
So far from where I wanna be
              Bm      Em     Am
Listening for answers in the wind
                 Bm      Em       Am
But can't find a rock to plant my feet
            Bm              Em       Am
Looking for love in all the wrong places
           Bm                Em             Am
Down on my knees and now I'm praying for patience
               Bm         Em        Am
I know there's gotta be a better way
                  Bm             Em
In the back of my mind I hear my momma say


[Chorus]
Am                     Bm        E7
Slow down, Baby you're going too fast
            Am
You got you hands in the air
         Dm          E7
With you feet on the gas
                Am
You're 'bout to wreck your future
Bm                E7
Running from your past
            Am        F Bb
You need to slow down baby


[Verse 2]
Am             Bm     Em      Am
  Thinking the faster that I go
                 Bm      Em       Am
The faster (that) I will reach my goal
                Bm    Em     Am
The race is not given to the swift
           Bm        Em   Am
But to the one who endure-eth
               Bm         Em              Am
I thought that all my obstacles were behind me
         Bm             Em             Am
Walking around like I'm made out of diamond
              Bm           Em       Am
I tripped and fell and it reminded me
               Bm            Em
Move over and let the angels guide me


[Chorus]
Am                     Bm        E7
Slow down, Baby you're going too fast
            Am
You got you hands in the air
         Dm          E7
With you feet on the gas
                Am
You're 'bout to wreck your future
Bm                E7
Running from your past
            Am        F Bbmaj7
You need to slow down baby


[Bridge]
N.C.               Em
Sometimes you gotta be still
                    Dm7
Before you can get ahead

Be still
                     Em
Ask the universe for help

Be real
                           Dm7
You can't do it all by yourself

Ah, no no
                              Em
Sometimes, sometimes you gotta be still
                        Dm7
Take some time to rejuvenate

Be still
                             Em
Take some time to clear your space

Be real
                          Dm7
Chaos isn't good for your health
           Dm Bbmaj7 Am
Ah, no no, ahhh - ahhhhh


[Instrumental]
Am E A Em Am E Am G

[Verse 3]
       Am                    Em
Cuz I'm  breaking things and I'm losing things
 Am                  Dm7
I lost myself at the end of the day
   Am              Dm7
Now, I don't wanna live this way, no
Am                 Dm
 In the back of my mind I hear my mama say


[Chorus]
Am                     Dm        E7
Slow down, Baby you're going too fast
            Am
You got you hands in the air
         Dm          E7
With you feet on the gas
N.C.
You're 'bout to wreck your future
Dm                E7
Running from your past
            Am        F
You need to slow down baby


[Outro]
Am         F Dm
Slow down (baby)

(You're going too fast)
Am         F Dm
Slow down (baby)

(Feet on the gas)
Am         F Dm
Slow down (baby)

(Run from your past)
N.C.
Slow down (baby) (4x)
