Slow Down

Proper Youth


Tom: C

C
Slow down, slow down, we’ve seen this before
        Am
But you can’t slow down (You could worry some more)
          Fmaj7
It’s like friction to a freight train and quarantine the right brain
    G
And freeze the fever there and strip that lining bare
             C
’Til there’s songs, nothing's wrong, you can sing until she’s gone
           Am
You try to shake yourself awake, but you know you’ll never learn
              Fmaj7
There’s still plenty on your plate and bet you’re tired of being patient
G
Still you know all that matters is her, yeah

[Chorus 1]
Am Fmaj7
Her
Am Fmaj7
Her

[Verse 2]
C
Timing’s not all but it’s more than we'd like
         Am
And some day you’ll grow old despite your best fight
        Fmaj7
I guess it’s not the right time at all
There’s no piece of mind in your
G
Freeze the fever there and strip the lining bare
     C
If I thought I was wrong then I’d find a new song
        Am
Come on shake yourself awake, ‘cause I’m still trying to learn
              Fmaj7
There's still your new road ahead; everyone's hands on deck
G
Until then someone’s bound to get hurt

[Chorus 2]
Am Fmaj7
Her
Am Fmaj7
Her
Am Fmaj7
Her
Am Fmaj7
Her
