[Intro]
 
Am C Em G
Am
 
[Chorus]
 
          C                    Em
I woke up this mornin' feelin' low
G                           Am
And I had to let go of my ego....
              C                    Em
I can't stand my reflection no more.....
G                                    Am
And I don't know why I can't take it slow (Slo-oh-oh-oh-oh)
C                                   Em
I don't know why, I don't know why (Slo-oh-oh-oh-oh)
G                                Am
I don't know why I can't take it slow (Slo-oh-oh-oh-oh)
C                                   Em
I don't know why, I don't know why (Slo-oh-oh-oh-oh)
G
I don't know why I can't take it slow
 
[Verse]
 
Am
Sometimes it feels too good to be true
        C
I don't know what else to do but to get up and move
         Em
Build an enterprise, change my children's lives
        G
The way I feel inside, my time is minimized
      Am
I got a plan devised, problems I'ma improvise
        C
I can't lose my temper got too much to jeopardize
          Em
You can't trust no one of these days they gon' testify
         G
I battle with myself daily, I'm a Gemini
    Am
Two sides to every story so I empathize
       C
I done came a long way since I went inside
         Em
Stand at the finish line, can I really finish mine
                 G
I don't hear 'em when the criticize or they tell them lies
Am
Give 'em time, ha ha
 
[Chorus]
 
          C                    Em
I woke up this mornin' feelin' low
    G                      Am
And I had to let go of my ego.....
              C                    Em
I can't stand my reflection no more......
G                                    Am
And I don't know why I can't take it slow (Slo-oh-oh-oh-oh)
C                                   Em
I don't know why, I don't know why (Slo-oh-oh-oh-oh)
G                                Am
I don't know why I can't take it slow (Slo-oh-oh-oh-oh)
C                                   Em
I don't know why, I don't know why (Slo-oh-oh-oh-oh)
G
I don't know why I can't take it slow
 
[Verse]
 
         Am
From the roads I've been travelin' to the demons I'm battlein'
     C
Tell the truth, sometimes I feel like I'm unravelin'
          Em
I've been havin' my head down and facin' these challenges
        G
I don't know, I feel like I've been wastin' my talent
          Am
I've been movin' in hate, I ain't been movin' in love
          C
You gotta be the first to admit it when you fuckin' up
          Em
I've been tryin' to get away, I've been focused on the life
    G
And I learned that real change doesn't happen over night
     Am
Tell my girl to blow 'em twice, before I roll the dice
     C
This is our last chance, it's the bottom of the ninth
      Em
I can feel the wind comin', put the bottles on the ice
     G
It's about fuckin' time, we've been losin' all our life
Am
Cheers to change
 
[Chorus]
 
          C                    Em
I woke up this mornin' feelin' low
G                          Am
And I had to let go of my ego....
              C                    Em
I can't stand my reflection no more.....
G                                    Am
And I don't know why I can't take it slow (Slo-oh-oh-oh-oh)
C                                   Em
I don't know why, I don't know why (Slo-oh-oh-oh-oh)
G                                Am
I don't know why I can't take it slow (Slo-oh-oh-oh-oh)
C                                   Em
I don't know why, I don't know why (Slo-oh-oh-oh-oh)
G                             
I don't know why I can't take it slow
