Slow Down

(início)

F                        Am
Tarpaulin sailboats and sports cars are splayed on
Dm                   Bb
Everyone's plot of suburban green rayon
F                         Am
This is the stuff that philosophers prey on
F          Bb
Dreaming
F                       Am
She left New York to uncover her feeling
Dm                     Bb
Deep in the forest she comes to a clearing
      F                        Am
Where spiders and frogs climb down from the ceiling
      Bb
She slows down
          Gm    F
Yeah she slows down
         F                         Am
Well the scene on the sidewalk is grassy green terror
Dm                     Bb
Everyone smiles as the summer gets fairer
    F                                                Bb
She can't shake the skin off this neon unbearable sky
         Gm   F
And they slow down
          Dm    F
Yeah they slow down
            Bbm              Fm
And see the soldiers smoking cigarettes
    Bbm              Fm
And making bombs and placing bets
    Bbm              D                              F
And telling tales of girls who slept beside them at home
F        C
F        C
        F                        Fm
In the clearing she takes off her skirt and her flip flops
Bbm                   F
Wades in the water it grazes her knee tops
    A                                                    D
She floats on her back, looking up at the blue drops of sky
        Gm    F
And she slows down
         Dm    F
Yeah she slows down
     F                       Am
Well she falls asleep on the creek and the stillness
    Dm                         Bb
The spiders and frogs and the clearing bear witness
   F                                Am
To words dropped like pearls on the water unnoticed
     Dm            Bb
Just how deep they go
        Dm    F
And she slows down
         Gm    F
Yeah she slows down
         Dm    F
Yeah she slows down
