Slowdown (acoustic)

	  		


Intro: Cm Eb (2x) 


Verse: 
Cm                                Bb 
Down and out, in Budapest and Los Angeles 
                Cm                          Bb 
I drank a river to forget, forget about the coming storm 
Cm 
The curtains are down, the lights are off 
        Bb                                   Cm 
And the doors are closed, I think about this life I've known 
                          Bb 
I hope this time, I won't let it go 


Pre-Chorus 
         Ab 
Will you catch me when I run 
         Fm 
Will you stop me when I'm done 


Chorus: 
         Cm 
When the day is through 
      Eb                   Bb        Ab 
All I want to do is slow down, slow down 
       Cm 
When I call on you 
         Eb                Bb        Ab (hold) 
Will you help me to slow down, slow down 


Interlude: Cm Eb Ab Eb 


Verse: 
  Cm                                   Bb 
I walk alone through this place, can't find my way 
                       Cm                          Bb 
This house is just an empty space, I never felt it was my home 
Cm 
Where've you been, I stole, I lied 
     Bb 
I've hurt, I've sinned, my path has led 
   Cm                                  Bb 
Me here again, there's splinters in my knees and bones 


Pre-Chorus 
         Ab 
Will you catch me when I run 
         Fm 
Will you stop me when I'm done 


Chorus: 
         Cm 
When the day is through 
      Eb                   Bb        Ab 
All I want to do is slow down, slow down 
       Cm 
When I call on you 
         Eb                Bb        Ab (hold) 
Will you help me to slow down, slow down

Eb 
  You pull me back and help me stay

  There's splinters in my knees and bones 
Eb 
  I try to find my way back home

You struggle with me, You struggle with me
