INTRO:
G  Em  Bm  C
G  Em  Bm  C

VERSE:
     G
The shades on my dashboard,
 Em
Shoes on my floorboard
 Bm7                     C
Lived in that old Chevrolet
         G
We were two Roman candles,
Em7
Too hot to handle
Bm7                          C
Too hearts that couldn't be tamed
          G
Yeah, we knew,
          Em                Bm
What was comin' and left it all
             C
Like it was nothin'
      G             Em                  Bm
Over time, kept on runnin' and runnin' away

CHORUS;
      (C)
Yeah, what can I say
            G                Em7
We had our hopes up and the windows down
Bm                 C
Fallin' fast in a one-lane town
G                    Em7
Tangled up with your lips on mine
Bm                     C
Never seen a brighter green in those eyes and
G                        Em
I put my jacket on your shoulder (shoulder)
 Bm                         C
Wishin' the weather wasn't gettin' colder
 G                      Em7
Lettin' you go, holdin' onto each other
 Bm                         C         G
Closin' our eyes, sayin', "Slow down Summer"
  Em7         Bm               C
(Slow down summer, summer, summer)
