[Intro]
D x 4 bars
D C D
Here comes your tattoos slowly fading
C G/B A
The breaks upon your heart are leaving scars
D C D
The battles for your freedom you’ve been winning
C A D
They bought you time but they’re costing you the war
[Chorus]
Bm G D
Slowing down, it don’t come easy
F#m G D
When running hard beens flowing through your blood
G D
You said goodbye so many times, it’s lost its meaning
Bm A G
And memories are all that’s left to love
Em G A
Oh, believe me, slowing down
D
It don’t come easy
D C D
The wasted years of love in motel rooms
C G/B A
Your boots under another strangers bed
D C D
Waking in the morning way too soon
C G/B D
Yeah, leaving you's as lonely as it gets
[Chorus]
Bm G D
Slowing down, it don’t come easy
F#m G D
When running hard beens flowing through your blood
G D
You said goodbye so many times, it’s lost its meaning
Bm A G
And memories are all that’s left to love
Em G A
Oh, believe me, slowing down
D
It don’t come easy
[Bridge]
Bm G D
You just can’t stop the clock from turning back the time
Bm A G
But for her heart and soul, it’s worth trying
[Chorus]
Bm G D
Slowing down, it don’t come easy
F#m G D
When running hard beens flowing through your blood
G D
You said goodbye so many times, it’s lost its meaning
Bm A G
And memories are all that’s left to love
Em G A
Oh, believe me, slowing down
D
It don’t come easy
Em G
Oh, believe me, slowing down
Em G A
Oh, believe me, slowing Down
D
It don’t come easy
