Dm7 Dm7 Dm7 Dm7
[Verse 1]
Dm7
I’m slowing down the tune, I never liked it fast
You want to get there soon, I want to get there last
Gm7 A7 Gm7 A7
It’s not because I’m old, It’s not the life I led
Gm7 A7 G7 Dm7
I always liked it slow, That’s what my momma said
Dm7
I’m lacing up my shoe, But I don’t want to run
I’ll get there when I do, Don’t need no startin' gun
Gm7 A7 Gm7 A7
It’s not because I’m old, And it’s not what dying does
Gm7 A7 G7 Dm7
I always liked it slow, Slow is in my blood
[Chorus 1]
Bb F C F
I always liked it slow, I never liked it fast
Bb F C A
With you it’s got to go, With me it’s got to last
Gm7 A7 Gm7 A7
It’s not because I’m old, It’s not because I’m dead
Gm7 A7 G7 Dm7
I always liked it slow, That’s what my momma said
[Instrumental]
Dm7 Dm7 Dm7 Dm7
[Verse 2]
Dm7
All your moves are swift, All your turns are tight
Let me catch my breath, I thought we had all night
Gm7 A7 Gm7 A7
I like to take my time, I like to linger as it flies
Gm7 A7 G7 Dm7
A weekend on your lips, A lifetime in your eyes
[Chorus 2]
Bb F C F
I always liked it slow, I never liked it fast
Bb F C A
With you it’s got to go, With me it’s got to last
Gm7 A7 Gm7 A7
It’s not because I’m old, It’s not the life I led
Gm7 A7 G7 Dm7
I always liked it slow, That’s what my momma said
[Chorus 3]
Bb F C F
I’m slowing down the tune, I never liked it fast
Bb F C A
You want to get there soon, I want to get there last
Gm7 A7 Gm7 A7
So, baby, let me go, You’re wanted back in town
Gm7 A7 G7 Dm7
In case they want to know, I’m just trying to slow it down
