Key:C
[Intro]
Am  C  F  Cadd9

[Verse 1]
G              Am
Leaves turnin' brown,
                C
 it's down to 54
        F
Cold is movin' into
                Cadd9
Texas and it's movin'
          G
 out the warm
             Am
These bitter winds,
              C
comin' soon again
Chapped lips askin'
for tips, tryna find
               G
more love to lend, oh
 Am  C
F    Cadd9
Mm-hmm

[Verse 2]
G          Am
And family ties,
                    C
are movin' closer in
         F
Find the time to hear
                  Cadd9
the chimes of a wedding
         G
 once again
          Am
I need it bad, more
              C
than I did before
            F
To feel the warmth of
              Cadd9
a fire and a woman
         G      F
that I adore, oh

[Chorus]
         Am
Can this all please
      C     G  F
 slow down?
        Am
Another year is
         C   G  F
 burnin' out
              Am
The sun don't wait
                  C
for someone like me
Who's got more wants
      G     F
 than needs
            Am
So I'll sit still
                 C
as seasons move on
Though I hate to
           G
watch 'em leavе
G
I hate to watch 'em leavе

[Interlude]
Am  C  F  Cadd9

[Verse 3]
G          Am
I see your breath while
             C
 I'm holdin' mine
          F
Your face lit up by
                   Cadd9
the moon, my face lit up
         G
by your eyes
            Am
I'm singin' songs,
                   C
the family sings along
             F
With my feet buried

in the gravel, my heart
  Cadd9        G           F
 buried in my wrongs, yeah

[Chorus]
         Am
Can this all please
      C     G  F
 slow down?
        Am
Another year is
         C   G  F
burnin' out
              Am
The sun don't wait
                  C
for someone like me
Who's got more wants
      G     F
than needs
            Am
So I'll sit still
                  C
 as seasons move on
Though I hate to
           G
 watch 'em leavе
I hate to watch
     Am
'em leavе
C  F  Cadd9 G Am7
C  F  Cadd9 G F

[Post-Chorus]
      Am7        Cadd9  G
And I know, oh-oh
      F     Am7  Cadd9  G
And I know, oh-oh

[Bridge]
            Am
It won't be long,
                  C
 today will carry on
                     F
Til' tomorrow is the past,
      Cadd9          G
 the future is long gone,
      F
 and

[Chorus]
         Am
Can this all please
       C     G  F
 slow down?
        Am
Another year is
         C   G  F
burnin' out
              Am
The sun don't wait
                  C
for someone like me
Who's got more wants
      G     F
 than needs
            Am
So I'll sit still
                 C
as seasons move on
Though I hate to
           G
 watch 'em leave
                  Am
Hate to watch 'em leave
