Slow Down Tab par Mike Mains And The Branches

[Verse 1]
G
I hear you're leaving town
D
'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
G
Just like a baby bird
D
Nervous when it first learned
C
To spread its wings
    C/G          G
And fly into the air
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
D
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
       C
Grab a coffee here with me
         G           D
And take a second to breathe
G          D
Slow down, slow down
         C
Let's be quiet for a while
           G               D
And I will try to make you smile
G
Slow down
 
 
[Verse 2]
G
You love it when it rains
D
'Cause it always washes away
    C                C/G
The dirt between the cracks
        G                      D
Of everything that we think we see
G
Now all your bags are packed
 D
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]
          D
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
           C
What about all our memories
               G                  D
When you would dance and sing for me
G          D
Slow down, slow down
              C
What happened to my baby girl
            G              D
Who used to sit on top the world
G
Slow down
 
 
[Verse 3]
 Em
You can travel the world
        C                    G
Just as fast as your feet'll go
Em
Graze the Atlantic shorelines
         C         G
Sleep in hotels of Tokyo
     Em
Lose everything in Vegas
        C                  G
Then go falling in love in Spain
         Em
But like Arizona's canyons
  C           G
A hole in you remains
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
D
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
       C
Grab a coffee here with me
           G         D
And take a second to breathe
     G          D
Slow down, slow down
         C
Let's be quiet for a while
           G               D
And I will try to make you smile
    G
Slow down
