G       C
Hey, hey
                Em         D
Wouldn't it be great, great
                  C       Cm
If we could just lay down
                Em     D
And wake up in Slowtown
   G       C
Today, day
             Em     D
I wanna go away, way
                      C      Cm
Cause things are too fast now
               Em     D
I wanna be in Slowtown

Chorus:
G         Am          Em
I put my socks on my feet
              G             Am             Em
Just so that my soul won't fall through my toes
G                      Am Em
And I walk through my door
           G                  Am   Em
Just so I don't fall through the floor

      G                               C
I remember when my brother and other kids
from neighboring houses
       Em                           D
Would get together I'd ride my bike and
                       C
my brother would ride his
                                     Cm
Put cards in our spokes and make our engines
               Em
sound like traffic
When using Pokémon cards,
                       D
please do not use the holographics

So bold and fearless in the risks we'd take
Laugh in the face of gravity as its
laws we'd break
On trampolines so high, we'd reach for the sky
But I do not look up anymore and
I don't know why

Chorus

G Am                Em
   We're going too fast, fast, save us
                 G           Am
We're going too fast, fast, save us
                 Em
We're going too fast, fast, save us now

G Am                Em
   We're going too fast, fast, save us
                 G           Am
We're going too fast, fast, save us
                 Em
We're going too fast, fast, save us now

G Am                Em
   We're going too fast, fast, save us
                 G           Am
We're going too fast, fast, save us
                 Em
We're going too fast, fast, save us now

I walk through my door
(We're going too fast, fast, save us)
Just so I don't fall through the floor
(We're going too fast, fast save us
We're going to fast, fast, save us now)

Hey, hey
Wouldn't it be great, great
If we could just lay down
And wake up in Slowtown
Just singing
