Let’s slow this whole thing down
jazzy pop
words and music by Martin Stirrup 2018
A A+
There’s attraction that’s plain to see
F#m G F#m A
Me to you and you to me
Dmaj7 C#m7Bm7 A E
Though our hearts may start to pound
Dmaj7 C#m7Bm7 A E
Let’s slow this whole thing down
You’re coming on like you’re fit to burn
We’re just like that hadron collider at CERN
So before we go underground
Let’s slow this whole thing down
chorus A F A
Mmmm wanna take my time with you
D A E
You know I want you oh so much
Mmmm wanna take my time with you
Let’s savour every touch
Some people talk of the thrill of speed
But here I’m begging to disagree
So if you will allow
Let’s slow this whole thing down
Bridge A A+
We’re moving too fast it’s plain to see
F#m A
Drawn in by proximity
ratchetting up from bad to worse
My head’s on fire I’m afraid it’ll burst
All this passion rising up’s
Just gotta overspill the top
Need a damper need it fast
F#m G F#m A
Don’t want this moment to be my last
So if you will allow
Let’s slow this whole thing down
Chorus2 Mmmm wanna take my time with you
We need to stick around
Mmmm wanna take my time with you
Let’s slow this whole thing down
(up a tone to B - big band style build up and finish)
We need to apply the brakes Or it’ll be over in a brace of shakes
Need a damper need it fast Don’t want this moment to be my last
Take it easy, take it slow That’s the safest way to go
Though our hearts may start to pound Let’s slow this whole thing down
(half speed finale) Let’s slow this whole thing down E F# B B7 E Em B A#... B
