    D               C             D
The ink on your tattoo is slowly fading
     C             G/B           A
The breaks upon your heart are leaving scars
     D               C          D
The battles for your freedom you’ve been winning
     C               A           D
They bought you time but they’re costing you the war


[Chorus]

Bm            G            D
Slowing down, it don’t come easy
F#m          G                         D
When running hard beens flowing through your blood
             G                                D
You said goodbye so many times, it’s lost its meaning
    Bm            A                  G
And memories are all that’s left to love
       Em               G      A
Oh, believe me, slowing down 
               D
It don’t come easy

     D              C            D  
The wasted years of love in motel rooms
      C              G/B           A
Your boots under another strangers bed
D              C              D
Waking in the morning way too soon
      C                  G/B        D
Yeah, leaving you's as lonely as it gets


[Chorus]

      Bm        G           D
Slowing down, it don’t come easy
   F#m                  G               D
When running hard beens flowing through your blood
              G                              D
You said goodbye so many times, it’s lost its meaning
    Bm           A                   G
And memories are all that’s left to love
        Em              G      A
Oh, believe me, slowing down 
               D
It don’t come easy 


[Bridge]

                Bm                 G                D
You just can’t stop the clock from turning back the time
     Bm                A               G
But for her heart and soul, it’s worth trying 


[Chorus]

      Bm      G           D
Slowing down, it don’t come easy
   F#m                  G               D
When running hard beens flowing through your blood
              G                              D
You said goodbye so many times, it’s lost its meaning
    Bm           A                   G
And memories are all that’s left to love
        Em              G      A
Oh, believe me, slowing down 
               D
It don’t come easy


       Em               G
Oh, believe me, slowing down
       Em               G       A
Oh, believe me, slowing down
              D
It don’t come easy
