Slow Down Summer Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Em][Bm][C]
[G][Em][Bm][C]

[Verse 1]
Your [G]shades on my dashboard,
[Em]shoes on my floorboard
[Bm]Lived in that old Chevro[C]let
We were [G]two Roman candles,
[Em]too hot to handle
[Bm]Two hearts that couldn't be [C]tamed

[Pre-chorus 1]
Yeah, we [G]knew what was [Em]comin'
And laughed it [Bm]off like it was n[C]othin'
Oh, but [G]time kept on [Em]runnin'
and runnin' [Bm]away
Yeah, what can I say

[Chorus 1]
We had [G]our hopes up and [Em]the windows down
[Bm]Fallin' fast in a on[C]e-lane town
[G]Tangled up with you[Em]r lips on mine
[Bm]Never seen a brighter gr[C]een
in those eyes and
[G]I put my jacket on you[Em]r shoulder
[Bm]Wishin' the weather wasn[C]'t gettin' colder
[G]Letting you go, hold[Em]ing onto each other
[Bm]Closin' our eyes, sayin',
[C]"Slow down, summer"

[Interlude 1]
[G][Em][Bm][C]

[Verse 2]
I was [G]beggin' those leaves,
"Don't go [Em]changin' on me"
[Bm]Friday night lights, stay a[C]way
But the [G]fourth of July
was just [Em]smoke in the sky
And our [Bm]sunburns were startin' to [C]fade

[Pre-chorus 2]
Yeah, we [G]knew what was [Em]comin'
And laughed it [Bm]off like it was n[C]othin'
Oh, but [G]time kept on [Em]runnin'
and runnin' [Bm]away
Yeah, what can I say

[Chorus 2]
We had [G]our hopes up and [Em]the windows down
[Bm]Fallin' fast in a on[C]e-lane town
[G]Tangled up with you[Em]r lips on mine
[Bm]Never seen a brighter gr[C]een
in those eyes and
[G]I put my jacket on you[Em]r shoulder
[Bm]Wishin' the weather wasn[C]'t gettin' colder
[G]Letting you go, hold[Em]ing onto each other
[Bm]Closin' our eyes, sayin',
[C]"Slow down, summer"

[Interlude 2]
[G][Em][Bm][C]

[Bridge 1]
Why couldn't you [G]slow down, [Em]summer?
Just wait a [Bm]minute, we weren't [C]finished
Can we just [G]hold onto each [Em]other?
Take me [Bm]back to the be[C]ginnin'

[Interlude 3]
[G]Oh [Em]Slow down, summ[Bm]er[C]
[G]Slo[Em]w down, summer[Bm]
[C]Yeah, those were the days

[Chorus 3]
[G]We had our hopes up
and [Em]the windows down
[Bm]Fallin' fast in a on[C]e-lane town
[G]Tangled up with you[Em]r lips on mine
[Bm]Never seen a brighter gr[C]een
in those eyes and
[G]I put my jacket on you[Em]r shoulder
[Bm]Wishin' the weather wasn[C]'t gettin' colder
[G]Letting you go, hold[Em]ing onto each other
[Bm]Closin' our eyes, sayin',
[C]"Slow down, summer"

[Interlude 4]
[G]Oh[Em][Bm][C]
Slow down, [G]summer, [Em]yeah[Bm][C]

[Outro 1]
Why couldn't you [G]slow down, [Em]summer?
[Bm][C]
Why couldn't you [G]slow [Em]down?
[Bm][C]
[G]Slow [Em]down[Bm][C]
Why couldn't you [G]slow down, [Em]summer?
[Bm][C]
