D          F#m Bm      G
I never knew you before
           D
I've been walking around
        F#m           Bm G
with my eyes on the floor
               D             F#m
But now you're everywhere to me
              Bm          G
You're every face that I see
              D            F#m       Bm G
Things ain't moving quick enough for me

Chorus:
                   D
I guess I've been running 'round town
F#m
Leaving my tracks
Bm
Burning out rubber
  G
Driving too fast
    D         F#m        Bm G
But I got to slow right down
 D                     F#m
Back to the moment the very start
          Bm                 G
From the very first day you had my heart
    D         F#m        Bm  G
But I got to slow right down
Slow it down

Wishing, wanting for something more
Always better than I had before
Who knew these dreams would come true?
And I run the red, won't stop at night
I don't care for traffic lights
Things ain't moving quick enough for me

Chorus - x2

I guess I've been running round town,
leaving my tracks
Burning out rubber, driving too fast
But I've gotta slow right down
Back to the moment, the very start
From the very first day you had my heart
But I've gotta slow right down
Slow it down
