[verse]
     B
The shades on my dashboard,
 G#m
Shoes on my floorboard
 D#m7                     E
Lived in that old Chevrolet

         B
We were two Roman candles,
G#m7
Too hot to handle
D#m7                          E
Too hearts that couldn't be tamed

          B
Yeah, we knew,
          G#m                D#m
What was comin' and left it all
             E
Like it was nothin'

      B             G#m                  D#m
Over time, kept on runnin' and runnin' away

[chorus]
      E
Yeah, what can I say
            B                G#m7
We had our hopes up and the windows down
D#m                 E
Fallin' fast in a one-lane town

B                    G#m7
Tangled up with your lips on mine
D#m                     E
Never seen a brighter green in those eyes and

B                        G#m
I put my jacket on your shoulder (shoulder)
 D#m                         E
Wishin' the weather wasn't gettin' colder

 B                      G#m7
Lettin' you go, holdin' onto each other
 D#m                         E         B
Closin' our eyes, sayin', "Slow down Summer"

  G#m7         D#m               E
(Slow down summer, summer, summer)

[verse]
       B
I was beggin' those leaves,
          G#m
don't go changin' on me
 D#m                         E
Friday night lights, stay away

         B                    G#m7
But the 4th of July was just smoke in the sky
         D#m                        E
And our sunburns were startin' to fade

          B              G#m7
Yeah, we knew, what was comin'
             D#m
and left it all
             E
Like it was nothin'

     B             G#m                  D#m
Overtime, kept on runnin' and runnin' away

[chorus]
      E
Yeah, those were the days
           B                 G#m7
We had our hopes up and the windows down
D#m                 E
Fallin' fast in a one-lane town

B                     G#m
Tangled up with your lips on mine
D#m                     E
Never seen a brighter green in those eyes and

B                        G#m
I put my jacket on your shoulder
D#m                          E
Wishin' the weather wasn't gettin' colder

 B                      G#m
Lettin' you go, holdin' onto each other
 D#m                         E            B
Closin' our eyes, sayin', "Slow down Summer"

  G#m7         D#m               E
(Slow down summer, summer, summer)

[break]
                  B         G#m7
Why couldn't you slow down Summer?
             D#m                 E
Just wait a minute, we weren't finished

             B             G#m7
Can we just hold onto each other?
         D#m            E
Take me back to the beginnin'

            B   G#m7
Oh, oh-oh, ohhh
           D#m
Slow down Summer
          E               B     G#m7
(Summer, Summer, Summer, Summer)

           D#m
Slow down Summer

(Summer)

Closin' our eyes, sayin', "Slow down Summer"

[post-chorus]
 B       G#m7          D#m        E
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
