[Verse 1]
G Em
Your shades on my dashboard, shoes on my floorboard
Bm C
Lived in that old Chevrolet
G Em
We were two Roman candles, too hot to handle
Bm C
Two hearts that couldn't be tamed
[Pre-Chorus]
G Em
Yeah, we knew what was comin’
Bm C
And laughed it off like it was nothin'
G Em Bm
Oh, but time kept on runnin' and runnin’ away
[Chorus]
Yeah, what can I say?
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 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"
Em Bm C
(Slow down, summer)...
[Verse 2]
G Em
I was beggin’ those leaves, "Don't go changin’ on me"
Bm C
"Friday night lights, stay away"
G Em
But the Fourth of July was just smoke in the sky
Bm C
And our sunburns were startin' to fade
[Pre-Chorus]
G Em
Yeah, we knew what was comin'
Bm C
And laughed it off like it was nothin'
G Em Bm
Oh, but time kept on runnin’ and runnin' away
[Chorus]
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 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"
Em Bm C
(Slow down, summer)...
[Bridge]
G Em
Why couldn't you slow down, summer?
Bm C
Just wait a minute, we weren't finished
G Em
Can we just hold onto each other?
Bm C G Em
Take me back to the beginnin', oh......
Bm C G Em
Slow down, summer...........
Bm C
Slow down, summer....
[Chorus]
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 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"
[Outro]
G Em Bm C
Oh...(Slow down, summer)...
G Em Bm C
Slow down, summer,....yeah....
G Em Bm C
Why couldn't you slow down, summer?...
G Em Bm C
Why couldn't you slow down?.....
G Em Bm C
Slow down......
G Em Bm C
Why couldn't you slow down, summer?...
