I'd Cnever met you, but I wanted to invite you to the party
CThen you walked Gin with those green eyes, never stolen by nobody
GAnd they Cflicker to the future, for a moment, I could picture
CThen you touch Gme and I come back, and we're talking on the staircase
G'Bout your big Cdreams on the big screens
COut of Georgia, now you're lonely in this Gcity
GLyin' with me, and you're scared it's movin' quickly
GOh, now you're Ccrying, you're in pieces
C'Cause the only love you've ever known is GJesus
GI can feel it
GOh, I hate that I'm the reason
GThat Emyou're in your head Dright Cnow
CWhile your world is GCspinning out
CSo slow it down, take a moment now
CWe're Gtoo young to drown deep in dirty waters
GFull of Chopeless doubt, let me pull you out
CLet me hold Gyou now, let me slow it down
Ain't it funny Chow it changes?
CHow the future rearranges
CI get Gnervous, oh, I'm anxious
GMaybe loving you is dangerous
GI could lose you Clike the others
COnly girl that's never left me is my Gmother
GOh, I love her
GAnd I know you'll probably hate it
GBut I'm in my head Cright now
CSo slow it down, take a moment now
CWe're too Gyoung to drown deep in dirty waters
GFull of Chopeless doubt, let me pull you out
CLet me Ghold you now, let me (slow it Cdown)
CSlow it down when you're on the Amground
AmAnd Gyou're crying, I'm trying (slow it down)
GTo Cslow it down when Amyou're spinning 'round
AmGIn your Dhead
DGOoh-ooh-ooh, Cooh-ooh
CI'll help you slow it down

How to play Slow It Down by Benson Boone on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 1 you play C, G, Em, D, Am, the shapes the player above shows.

The chart has four main chords: C#, G#, A#m and D#. It also catches Fm in passing, and you can leave those out at first. All of them are usually barre chords, so check whether a capo gives you easier shapes. The change you will play most is G# to C#, 12 times in the chart, so practise that one first.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
