CAPO: 4th FRET
 
INTRO:
G  Em  Bm  C
G  Em  Bm  C
 
VERSE:
     G
The shades on my dashboard,
 Em
Shoes on my floorboard
 Bm7                     C
Lived in that old Chevrolet
 
         G
We were two Roman candles,
Em7
Too hot to handle
Bm7                          C
Too hearts that couldn't be tamed
 
          G
Yeah, we knew,
          Em                Bm
What was comin' and left it all
             C
Like it was nothin'
 
      G             Em                  Bm
Over time, kept on runnin' and runnin' away
 
 
CHORUS;
      (C)
Yeah, what can I say
            G                Em7
We had our hopes up and the windows down
Bm                 C
Fallin' fast in a one-lane town
 
G                    Em7
Tangled up with your lips on mine
Bm                     C
Never seen a brighter green in those eyes and
 
G                        Em
I put my jacket on your shoulder (shoulder)
 Bm                         C
Wishin' the weather wasn't gettin' colder
 
 G                      Em7
Lettin' you go, holdin' onto each other
 Bm                         C         G
Closin' our eyes, sayin', "Slow down Summer"
 
  Em7         Bm               C
(Slow down summer, summer, summer)
 
 
VERSE:
       G                              Em
I was beggin' those leaves, don't go changin' on me
 Bm                         C
Friday night lights, stay away
 
         G                    Em7
But the 4th of July was just smoke in the sky
         Bm                        C
And our sunburns were startin' to fade
 
          G              Em7               Bm
Yeah, we knew, what was comin' and left it all
             C
Like it was nothin'
 
     G             Em                  Bm
Overtime, kept on runnin' and runnin' away
 
 
CHORUS;
      (C)
Yeah, those were the days
           G                 Em7
We had our hopes up and the windows down
Bm                 C
Fallin' fast in a one-lane town
 
G                     Em
Tangled up with your lips on mine
Bm                     C
Never seen a brighter green in those eyes and
 
G                        Em
I put my jacket on your shoulder
Bm                          C
Wishin' the weather wasn't gettin' colder
 
 G                      Em
Lettin' you go, holdin' onto each other
 Bm                         C            G
Closin' our eyes, sayin', "Slow down Summer"
 
  Em7         Bm               C
(Slow down summer, summer, summer)
 
 
BREAK::

Why couldn't you slow down Summer?
             Bm                 C
Just wait a minute, we weren't finished
 
             G             Em7
Can we just hold onto each other?
         Bm            C
Take me back to the beginnin'

                  The shades on my dashboard, shoes on my floorboard
Lived in that old Chevrolet
We were two Roman candles, too hot to handle
Too harsh, they couldn't be tamed

Yeah, we knew, what was comin' and left it all
Like it was nothin'
Overtime, kept on runnin' and runnin' away

Yeah, what can I say
We had our hopes up and the windows down
Fallin' fast in a one-lane town
Tangled up with your lips on mine
Never seen a brighter green in those eyes and
I put my jacket on your shoulder
Wishin' the weather wasn't gettin' colder
Lettin' you go, holdin' onto each other
Closin' our eyes, sayin', "Slow down Summer"
(Slow down summer, summer, summer)

I was beggin' those leaves, don't go changin' on me
Friday night lights, stay away
But the 4th of July was just smoke in the sky
And the sunburns were startin' to fade

Yeah, we knew, what was comin' and left it all
Like it was nothin'
Overtime, kept on runnin' and runnin' away

Yeah, those were the days
We had our hopes up and the windows down
Fallin' fast in a one-lane town
Tangled up with your lips on mine
Never seen a brighter green in those eyes and
I put my jacket on your shoulder
Wishin' the weather wasn't gettin' colder
Lettin' you go, holdin' onto each other
Closin' our eyes, sayin', "Slow down Summer"
(Slow down summer, summer, summer)

Why couldn't you slow down Summer?
Just wait a minute, we weren't finished
Can we just hold onto each other?
Take me back to the beginnin'
Oh, oh-oh, oh
Slow down Summer
(Summer, Summer, Summer, Summer)
Slow down Summer
(Summer, Summer)

Yeah, those were the days
We had our hopes up and the windows down
Fallin' fast in a one-lane town
Tangled up with your lips on mine
Never seen a brighter green in those eyes and
I put my jacket on your shoulder
Wishin' the weather wasn't gettin' colder
Lettin' you go, holdin' onto each other
Closin' our eyes, sayin', "Slow down Summer"
(Slow down summer, summer, summer)

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Slow down Summer, yeah
Why couldn't you slow down Summer?
Why couldn't you slow down?
Slow down, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Why couldn't you slow down Summer?
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
