[Intro]
    G      Am      C     Gx2
GLike a lot of kids do, I spent Emmost of my youthAm  
In a hurry to Gmgrow Cup
Chasing Gmoney and dreams, as a Emyoung man it seemedAm  
Nothing Chappened fast eDnoughAm  
Now I'm much to busy
EmAlways running DlateAm  
Seems there's never enough Chours in the Dday
DmSlow down
It Cfeels like time is Gflying by me Bmnow
DmI'm not Casking for this Gcrazy old Dworld
To stop Emspinning aDround and aCround
Just slow GdownAm  C  G  
GWhat I'd give to have back all those Emlong afternoonsAm  
I wasted Gmbeing Cbored
And just Ghalf of the freedom and Eminnocence lostAm  
Searching Chard for something DmoreAm  
There's a price to pay as Emtime moves aDlongAm  
Mama's gettin' old, Cdad's already Dgone
DmSlow down
It Cfeels like time is Gflying by me Bmnow
DmI'm not Casking for this Gcrazy old Dworld
To stop Emspinning aDround and aCround
Just slow Em7down
Just eA7nough
To catch my Am7breath
Share D7time with who I Em7love
Girl that's A7you
The reason Am7why
I Dwant so much to Dmslow down
C G Bm
DmI'm not Casking for this Gcrazy old Dworld
To stop Emspinning aDround and aCround
Just slow GdownAm  C  
GSlow down
