G             A
Should come snow
            G                    A G
But we got rain and it's leaking in
            A
I think of Paris
               G                       A
How that ugly tower stands 3 years of wind

Chorus:
              D                            Bm
Now don't it seem like we're living in a slowdown town
  G                            D
(seem like we're living in a slowdown town)
    D                           Bm
I feel like we're living in a slowdown town
   G                A             G   A
(Slowdown town) And on and on it goes
                  G  A G
And on and on it goes

Billions of people be happy
Living like the way we do
With the world in our hands
Believing that we're small and true

Chorus:
But sometimes I feel like we're living in a slowdown town
(Feel like we're living in a slowdown town)
Yes, I feel like we're living in a slowdown town
(Slowdown town)
And on and on it goes

A#                    C
I'll be here and the wind and the rain will be
 A#                 C
Hammering down the building over me
A#                 C
I'll be here in my tower of mistrust
A#              C
I built this myself with nails that don't rust

           D                           Bm            G   D
Don't you feel like we're living in a slowdown town
                                          Bm
Oh honey, I feel like we're living in a slowdown town
  G                            D
(feel like we're living in a slowdown town)
D
So people, come on, let's just blow it
        Bm                G
And get out of this damn town
    A             D
And on and on it goes
                               Bm           G
(feel like we're living in a slowdown town)
    A             D
Or on and on it goes
                               Bm           G
(feel like we're living in a slowdown town)
    A             D
Or on and on it goes
