Let Me Down Slow

Tom: E

Intro: E

Verse:

E                         
You look a little dressed up
                      B 
You're acting way too smart
                        E 
Your face a little bit flushed
                  B 
For a walk in the park 
                          E 
And you're clutching your phone
                   B 
As you walk in the dark 
                       E 
And your smile's got a twist 
E                  B 
You're looking so hardcore

Bridge:

B          A
If you've something to say 
            F#m
Don't be too direct 
                A
'Cause I feel a little fragile  
                        B
Don't hit the nail on the head 

Chorus:

B           A    
Why I said, baby, baby
F#m             E 
let me down real slow
E       B  
Oh no no no
            A    
Why I said, baby, baby
F#m             E 
let me down real slow
         B            
Oh no no no 

Verse:
                        E
There's a swish in your step 
                        B 
There's a gleam in your eye
                      E 
Are you coloring your hair
                      B 
With some new kind of dye 

Bridge:
              A
But the first one to blink 
                    F#m
Is the first one to fall 
               A
I don't want a confrontation 
                   B
I've got my back to the wall 

Chorus:
B           A    
Why I said, baby, baby
F#m             E 
let me down real slow
E       B  
Oh no no no
            A    
Why I said, baby, baby
F#m             E 
let me down real slow
      B       
Oh no no no
