[Intro]
C G Dm D
[spoken]
Dm
Won't break my heart, won't hope to die
C
If before Lexington I could slow down
G
They say a chariot's waiting when you get cut loose
D
The place starts swinging when it's me on the noose
[spoken]
Dm
Mother do you think that your children cry
C
'Cause they wanna shake your chain?
G
I walked miles today, one for every year of my life
D
In the stinking fucking rain
[Chorus]
C G D
Ooo-ooo, just to slow down
C
So I could slow down
G Dm
So I could slow down, yeah
D C
Work for me, luck, just one last time
G D
Spare me a chance, I've wasted mine
D C
Shine on me, light, don't you know I would
G D
Reach for you there if I only I could?
C
If I could slow down
G D
If I could slow down
C
If I could slow down
G Dm
Just slow down
D
I don't mind being stoned, they say Jesus was
C
And I like being alone, and I can take living low
G
Forgive my being cruel if ever I was
D
Say a word for me too when I'm under the gun
D
Wouldn't break my heart
C
If I could slow down
G
Let the place start swinging
Dm
There's a chariot waiting
D
Wouldn't break my heart
C
If I could slow down
G
Let the place start swinging
Dm
There's a chariot waiting
D
Wouldn't break my heart...
C G
