Dm    Am   A#              Am  Dm
I've been feelin' all the pressure
I'd been lookin' for a sign, mmm
I don't love you any lesser
I just need a little time

                  Dm C A#
I'm sorry but for real

Don't wanna be tied up
Don't wanna feel too much
There's things I wanna do, oh no don't

I don't wanna miss a chance, mmm
All my visions coming to life
And you know I got bigger plans

I'm sorry but for real
Don't wanna be tied up
Don't wanna feel too much
There's things I wanna do, oh no don't

Slow me, slow me down
