[Intro]
G G G C
G G G C
[Verse 1]
G
The shades on my dashboard
Em
Shoes on my floor board
G C
Lived in that old Chevrolet
G
We were two roman candles
Em
Too hot to handle
G C
Two hearts caught in between
[Pre-chorus]
G C
We knew what was coming
G C
And laughed it off like it was nothing
G
Over time we kept on runnin’ and runnin’ away
[Chorus]
C G D
What can I say, we had our hopes up and the windows down
G C
Fallin’ fast in a one lane town
G D
Tangled up with your lips on mine
G C
Never seen a brighter green in those eyes
G C
And I put my jacket on your shoulder
G C
We seen the weather wasn’t getting colder
G Em
Letting you go, holding on to each other
G C G G G C
Closing our eyes, saying slow down summer
[Verse 2]
G Em
I was beggin’ those leaves don’t Go changing on me
G C
Friday night lights stay away
G Em
But the fourth of July was just smoke in the sky
G C
And the sunburns were starting to fade
[Pre-chorus]
G C
Yeh We knew what was coming
G C
And laughed it off like it was nothing
G
Over time we kept on runnin’ and runnin’ away
[Chorus]
C G D
Those were the days, we had our hopes up and the windows down
G C
Fallin’ fast in a one lane town
G D
Tangled up with your lips on mine
G C
Never seen a brighter green in those eyes
G C
And I put my jacket on your shoulder
G C
We seen the weather wasn’t getting colder
G Em
Letting you go, holding on to each other
G C G G G C
Closing our eyes, saying slow down summer
[Bridge]
G Em
Why couldn’t you slow down summer
G C
Just wait a minute, we’re weren’t finished
G
Can we just hold onto each other
C G
Take me back to the beginning, Ooooh
G C G G G
Slow down summer, mm..mm
[Chorus]
C G D
Those were the days,we had our hopes up and the windows down
G C
Fallin’ fast in a one lane town
G D
Tangled up with your lips on mine
C
Never seen a brighter green in those eyes
G C
And I put my jacket on your shoulder
G C
We seen the weather wasn’t getting colder
G Em
Letting you go, holding on to each other
G C G G G C
Closing our eyes, saying slow down summer
