Slow Below The Surface

Dan Fogerlberg


Tom: D

D                            G
Some people tell you they're trapped by the distance
    D                        G
And can't get what they want most
     D                        G
They throw up a wall and then call for assistance
    D                      G
And make no attempt to get close

[Chorus]
D   G                     D     G
Oh,    I think you should know
                 D    D/C#      Bm      Bm/A
You've got to go slow below the surface
    G    G/F#        Em
And easy through the waves
    A         D    D/C#      Bm      Bm/A
You better go slow below the surface
    G    G/F#        Em    A
And easy through the waves

[Verse]
D  G  x2

       D                        G
You're running so fast that you can't find the past
         D                G
And the future is wearing thin
D                       G
Come from behind it's a matter of time
         D                     G
'Til you see who you've always been

[Chorus]
D   G                     D     G
Oh,    I think you should know
                 D    D/C#      Bm      Bm/A
You've got to go slow below the surface
    G    G/F#        Em
And easy through the waves
    A         D    D/C#      Bm      Bm/A
You better go slow below the surface
    G    G/F#        Em    A
And easy through the waves

[Instrumental]
D  G   x2
Em A   x4

[Verse]
D                            G
Some people tell you they're trapped by the distance
    D                        G
And can't get what they want most
     D                        G
They throw up a wall and then call for assistance
    D                      G
And make no attempt to get close

[Chorus]
D   G                     D     G
Oh,    I think you should know
                 D    D/C#      Bm      Bm/A
You've got to go slow below the surface
    G    G/F#        Em
And easy through the waves
    A         D    D/C#      Bm      Bm/A
You better go slow below the surface
    G    G/F#        Em
And easy through the waves
    A              D         D/C#   Bm      Bm/A
You know that your life must have a purpose
    G      G/F#   Em          A         D
You better make a stand while you still can
