[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]
G Em7
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'
G Em7
Oh, oh-oh, ohhh
Bm
Slow down Summer
C G Em7
(Summer, Summer, Summer, Summer)
Bm
Slow down Summer
(Summer)
[Chorus]
C
Yeah, those were the days
G Em
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 Em7
I put my jacket on your 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"
