Intro
D   E    F#m7    E    D    E 

Verse 1
A/C#             E
16 hour workday just to provide 
F#m7               E         A/C#
Everything for his little tyke
   D               E     E/G#
No time to sing a lullaby 
     F#m7            A/C#  E/G#
Or give him a piggyback ride
D               E
TV babysitter, toys are a bribe
        F#m7
As he speeds out the doorway 
       A/C#
And the car leaves the driveway
G         Gadd9
  The boy runs after his father 
         Bm               A/C#
But his steps are too small
     Gadd9                         
He stretches out his hands to reach him 
       Bm          Esus4 E
As he tumbles and falls


Chorus
F     G
Slow down,
   Am        G/B  C 
I can't keep up with you
F                 G
You're getting a little too quick
    Am    G/B C
For me to follow
F      G            Am     G/D     Dm7
Slow down, you're getting away from me
       Dm7               G   G/B  F    G    F     G    F
And I don't know how to slow you down


Verse 2
A/C#                 E             E/G#
60 years together weathering the times 
    F#m7                      E      A/C#  E/G#
The good, the bad, the sweetest sighs
             D                E     E/G#
Watching children of their children smile
        F#m7                     A/C#  E/G#
As they did when they walked down the aisle
D                              E      E/G#
Walking canes and wheelchairs slowly wind
F#m7                 A/C#           
Twirling the years, curling their faces
G                 Gadd9
  But now he's stumbling faster
  Bm                    A
Towards that finish line
        G              Gadd9
She stretches out her hands to hold him
       Bm         Esus4 E
As he closes his eyes


Chorus 2
F     G
Slow down,
   Am        G/B  C 
I can't keep up with you
F                 G
You're getting a little too quick
    Am    G/B C
For me to follow
F      G            Am     G/D     Dm7
Slow down, you're getting away from me
       Dm7               G   G/B  F    G    
And I don't know how to slow you down
       Am                G    F   G    Am   G/B C  F   G
And I don't know how to slow you down
       Am                G        F    G
And I don't know how to slow you down


Last Chorus
F     G
Slow down,
   Am        G/B  C 
I can't keep up with you
F                 G
You're getting a little too quick
    Am    G/B C
For me to follow
F      G            Am     G/D     Dm7
Slow down, you're getting away from me
       Dm7               G   G/B  F    G    F     G    F
And I don't know how to slow you down
