E A5(9)
Turn all of the lights off
E A5(9)
Cause I don't want to wake up right now
E A5(9)
Sheltered with all our safety
E A5(9)
We'll hold hands until the sun comes out
E A5(9)
We'll pretend we know what love's about
Intro: E, A5(9)
E A5(9)
You smile, you shut the car door
E A5(9)
As I turn around and make my way home with you
E A5(9)
You're all that I'd run to
E
Like the pride in everything you say,
A5(9)
Everything you say and do
E A
Slow down little lady, we're going way too fast (way too fast)
E
Let's not try and rush this,
A
Come on we'll make it last
E A
Slow down little lady, you're gonna waste your time
E
You're gonna waste your time
A
You're gonna waste your time
E
You're gonna waste your time
E
There's not much more that I can say
A5(9)
That will top the words in this song
E
And I'm scared to think that maybe
A5(9)
You are the one that I wanted all along
E
Maybe baby we'll just stay free,
A5(9)
You and me might never be,
E A5(9)
But we'll see each other as before and nothing more
E A
Slow down little lady, we're going way too fast (way too fast)
E
Let's not try and rush this,
A
Come on we'll make it last
E A
Slow down little lady, you're gonna waste your time
E
You're gonna waste your time
A
You're gonna waste your time
E
You're gonna waste your time
A
You're gonna waste your time
A C#M
Cause music without your memory means nothing to me
A
And I hope this song helps you remember
C#m
What we used to be
A C#M
Deep inside you know that I've been trying
A
I've been finding that the shortest pencil
Is better than the longest memory
E A
Slow down little lady, we're going way too fast (way too fast)
E
Let's not try and rush this,
A
Come on we'll make it last
E A
Slow down little lady, you're gonna waste your time
E
You're gonna waste your time
A
You're gonna waste your time
E
You're gonna waste your time
A
You're gonna waste your time
Waste your time
Waste your time
