The Backseat Lovers - Slowing Down

[Intro]
Em

[Verse]

Em A7 B
The sound of laughter
Cmaj7
Echoes from a few doors down
Em A7 B Cmaj7
The sound of pressure Is getting louder

[Chorus]

Em D/A
Whisper in my ear
A7
That you need me
Em D/A
But if you saw it clearly
A7
Would you leave me?

Em D/A Cmaj7
(2x)

[Verse 2]

Cmaj7
I’m honest to you
Em A7
But I’m lying to myself
B Cmaj
And I don’t want to hear it
Cmaj7
It has something to do
Em A7
With the balance of my blood
B Cmaj7
And when I’ll have to spill it
Em A7
People moving faster
B Cmaj7
Am I the only one that’s slowing down?
Cmaj7
Am I slowing you down?

[Chorus]

Em D/A
Whisper in my ear
A7
That you need me
Em D/A
But if you saw it clearly,
A7
You would leave me

Em D/A Cmaj7
(2x)

[Coda]

N.C.
Alone in California
B Cmaj7
The dream is dimming
Cmaj7 Em A7
The second time I’ve heard that voice…
A7 Cmaj7
And it’s getting louder
