[Verse 1]
GI hear you're leaving town
D'Cause you're tired of hanging around
CThe same city C/Glimit signs
GYou've been waiting Caround your whole life
GJust like a baby bird
DNervous when it first learned
CTo spread its wings
And C/Gfly into the Gair
[Pre-Chorus]
DNow I've got to tell you something
These words might hurt
But please hold them long enough
To feel their Gweight Das they Cplead
[Chorus]
GSlow down, Dslow down
Grab a Ccoffee here with me
And take Ga second to Dbreathe
GSlow down, Dslow down
Let's be Cquiet for a while
And I will Gtry to make you Dsmile
GSlow down
[Verse 2]
GYou love it when it rains
D'Cause it always washes away
The Cdirt between the C/Gcracks
Of everyGthing that we think we Dsee
GNow all your bags are packed
YDour father's head tips back
CInto the chair that C/Ghe sits
While he Gwatches you slip Daway
[Pre-Chorus]
He cries, D"Will you please forgive me, darling
I can't keep living brokenhearted
First it was your mother
Now it's Gbound Dto be Cyou"
[Chorus]
GSlow down, Dslow down
What about Call our memories
When you would Gdance and sing for Dme
GSlow down, Dslow down
What happened Cto my baby girl
Who used to Gsit on top the Dworld
GSlow down
[Verse 3]
YEmou can travel the world
Just as Cfast as your feet'll Ggo
EmGraze the Atlantic shorelines
Sleep in Chotels of GTokyo
Lose Emeverything in Vegas
Then go Cfalling in love in GSpain
But like EmArizona's canyons
A Chole in you Gremains
[Pre-Chorus]
DI just want you to believe
That the invisible frame's what we see
And it's as beautiful as a baby's eyes
And as incredible as the Gfirst Dtime they Cbreathe
[Chorus]
GSlow down, Dslow down
Grab a Ccoffee here with me
And take a Gsecond to Dbreathe
Slow Gdown, slow Ddown
Let's be Cquiet for a while
And I will Gtry to make you Dsmile
Slow Gdown

C/G

[Verse 1]

I hear you're leaving town

'Cause you're tired of hanging around

C C/G

The same city limit signs

G C

You've been waiting around your whole life

Just like a baby bird

Nervous when it first learned

To spread its wings

C/G G

And fly into the air

[Pre-Chorus]

Now I've got to tell you something

These words might hurt

But please hold them long enough

G D C

To feel their weight as they plead

[Chorus]

G D

Slow down, slow down

Grab a coffee here with me

G D

And take a second to breathe

G D

Slow down, slow down

Let's be quiet for a while

G D

And I will try to make you smile

Slow down

[Verse 2]

You love it when it rains

'Cause it always washes away

C C/G

The dirt between the cracks

G D

Of everything that we think we see

Now all your bags are packed

Your father's head tips back

C C/G

Into the chair that he sits

G D

While he watches you slip away

[Pre-Chorus]

He cries, "Will you please forgive me, darling

I can't keep living brokenhearted

First it was your mother

G D C

Now it's bound to be you"

[Chorus]

G D

Slow down, slow down

What about all our memories

G D

When you would dance and sing for me

G D

Slow down, slow down

What happened to my baby girl

G D

Who used to sit on top the world

Slow down

[Verse 3]

You can travel the world

C G

Just as fast as your feet'll go

Graze the Atlantic shorelines

C G

Sleep in hotels of Tokyo

Lose everything in Vegas

C G

Then go falling in love in Spain

But like Arizona's canyons

C G

A hole in you remains

[Pre-Chorus]

I just want you to believe

That the invisible frame's what we see

And it's as beautiful as a baby's eyes

G D C

And as incredible as the first time they breathe

[Chorus]

G D

Slow down, slow down

Grab a coffee here with me

G D

And take a second to breathe

G D

Slow down, slow down

Let's be quiet for a while

G D

And I will try to make you smile

Slow down
