       C#m       E      Aadd9
I must look just like a fool
C#m          E            Aadd9
Here in the middle of the road
C#m          E        Aadd9
Standin there in your rearview
C#m          E          Aadd9
And gettin soaked to the bone
C#m          E            Aadd9
This land is flat, as it is mean
C#m        E           Aadd9
A man can see for a hundred miles
Aadd9        B7             D#m
So I’m still prayin I might see
           C#m       E      Aadd9
the glow of brake light

E                            C#m
But your wheels just turned down the road ahead
Aadd9                  B7
If it hurts at all you ain’t showed it yet
E                   C#m
I keep lookin for the slightest sign
Aadd9                   B7
That you might miss what you left behind
D#m            G#m                Aadd9
I know there’s nothin stopping you now

But I’d settle for a slow down

 C#m       E           Aadd9
I held on longer than I should've
   C#m          E            Aadd9
Believin’ you might change your mind
Aadd9           B7         D#m
And those bright lights of Hollywood,
       C#m       E      Aadd9
Would fade in time

E                            C#m
But your wheels just turned down the road ahead
Aadd9                  B7
If it hurts at all you ain’t showed it yet
E                   C#m
I keep lookin for the slightest sign
Aadd9                   B7
That you might miss what you left behind
D#m            G#m                Aadd9
I know there’s nothin stopping you now
         C#m       E      Aadd9
But I’d settle for a slow down

E                            C#m
But your wheels just turned down the road ahead
Aadd9                  B7
If it hurts at all you ain’t showed it yet
E                              C#m
You’re just a tiny dot on that horizon line
Aadd9
C’mon just tap those brakes
B7
Baby, just one time
D#m            G#m                Aadd9
I know there’s nothin stopping you now
     D#m            G#m          Aadd9
I’m not asking you to turn back around
     C#m       E      Aadd9
I’d settle for a slow down
    C#m       E      Aadd9
C’mon just slow down
