[Intro]
Bm7 Bm7 Bm7 Bm7 

[Verse 1]
Bm7
I’m slowing down the tune, I never liked it fast

You want to get there soon, I want to get there last
      Em7            F#7       Em7             F#7
It’s not because I’m old, It’s not the life I led
  Em7              F#7                 E7    Bm7
I always liked it slow, That’s what my momma said

Bm7
I’m lacing up my shoe, But I don’t want to run

I’ll get there when I do, Don’t need no startin' gun
      Em7             F#7           Em7           F#7
It’s not because I’m old, And it’s not what dying does
   Em7             F#7  E7            Bm7
I always liked it slow, Slow is in my blood

[Chorus 1]
   G              D       A              D
I always liked it slow, I never liked it fast
      G               D       A              F#
With you it’s got to go, With me it’s got to last
     Em7             F#7       Em7             F#7
It’s not because I’m old, It’s not because I’m dead
   Em7             F#7                 E7    Bm7
I always liked it slow, That’s what my momma said

[Instrumental]
Bm7 Bm7 Bm7 Bm7 

[Verse 2]
Bm7
All your moves are swift, All your turns are tight

Let me catch my breath, I thought we had all night
   Em7             F#7            Em7          F#7
I like to take my time, I like to linger as it flies
   Em7            F#7      E7              Bm7
A weekend on your lips, A lifetime in your eyes

[Chorus 2]
    G             D       A              D
I always liked it slow, I never liked it fast
     G                 D       A                 F#
With you it’s got to go, With me it’s got to last
     Em7              F#7       Em7           F#7
It’s not because I’m old, It’s not the life I led
  Em7             F#7                  E7    Bm7
I always liked it slow, That’s what my momma said

[Chorus 3]
     G                D       A              D
I’m slowing down the tune, I never liked it fast
     G                D       A                  F#
You want to get there soon, I want to get there last
     Em7         F#7        Em7            F#7
So, baby, let me go, You’re wanted back in town
   Em7                F#7           E7                Bm7
In case they want to know, I’m just trying to slow it down
