Slow Down
by The Academy Is....
Tabbed by: Joe G
Tuning: Capo on 2
Chords (relative to capo)
C A Em G D D/F#
e| 0 0 0 3 2 2
b| 1 1 0 0 3 3
g| 0 2 0 0 2 2
D| 2 2 2 0 0 0
A| 3 0 2 2 X X
E| X X 0 3 X 2
An asterisk means add third fret on the high e string with your little
finger. For example, C* would be X32013 rather than X32010. Basically it's
making the chord and AddG chord.
VERSE 1:
Am*
Close the door and take the stairs.
C* Em
Up or down? Upside down,
Em*
Well don't pretend you've never been there.
Am* C*
You kiss me like an overdramatic actor
Em*
who's starving for work,
Em*
with one last shot to make it happen.
Am*
You've won the role, you've played your part,
C*
you've been cordially invited.
Em Em*
But I'm not impressed, and I'm definitely not excited,
Am*
because the film runs a shallow budget,
C
and the writer's subject script isn't any
Em Em*
deeper. So dive right in...
PRE-CHORUS
Am
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,
C
hey you, who are you kidding?
G
I'm not like them.
D/F#
I won't buy in.
Am
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,
C
hey you, who are you kidding?
G
Don't quit 'til 47,
D/F#
then we'll turn it up, and we'll play a little faster.
CHORUS:
Am
Take back everything you ever
C
said, you never meant a
G
word of it.
D/F#
You never did.
Am
Take back everything you ever
C
said, you never meant a
G
word of it.
D
You never did. She said
VERSE 2:
Am*
'Alright, Alright, slow down!"
C*
"Oh no, oh no, we won't"
Em*
'cause I regret every word that I said
C*
to ever make her feel like
Am*
she was something special,
Em Em*
or that she ever really mattered. Did she ever really matter?
PRE-CHORUS
Am
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,
C
hey you, who are you kidding?
G
I'm not like them.
D/F#
I won't buy in.
Am
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,
C
just don't count on this summer.
G
Don't quit 'til 47.
D
Then we'll turn it up and we'll play a little faster.
CHORUS:
Am
Take back everything you ever
C
said, you never meant a
G
word of it.
D/F#
You never did.
Am
Take back everything you ever
C

word of it.

I'm not saying that
Em
I'm not breaking some
G
hearts tonight, girl.

I'm not breaking some
G
hearts tonight, girl.
