Tom: Am
Am G Am
There ain't no well deeper than a mother's fear
Dm Am Dm
There ain't no sky bluer than a mother's tear
Dm Am G Am
She said "I believe in your dreams but just between you and me
Am G Am
I need you to listen to me now"
Dm/G Am
And she said "baby slow down"
[Chorus]
Dm Am G Am
I don't wanna live to see your world coming down
Dm Am G Am
I just want a boy whose soul has been found
Dm Am G Am
Running in the red ever since you left this town
Dm Am G Am
Even if you decide to turn it all around
Am G Am
Baby slow down
Dm G Am
Baby slow down
[Verse 2]
Am G Am
There ain't nothing worse on planet Earth
Dm Am G Dm
Than a mother laying rest to what she gave birth
Dm Am G Am
She said "I believe in your dreams but just between you and me
Am G Am
What's it all worth if you're in the ground?"
Am/G Am
And she said "baby slow down"
[Chorus]
Dm Am G Am
I don't wanna live to see your world coming down
Dm Am G Am
I just want a boy whose soul has been found
Dm Am G Am
Running in the red ever since you left this town
Dm Am G Am
Even if you decide to turn it all around
Am G Am
Baby slow down
Dm G Am
Baby slow down
[Outro]
Am/G Am
She said baby slow down
Dm Am G Am
I don't wanna live to see your world coming down
Dm Am G Am
I just want a boy whose soul has been found
Dm Am G Am
Running in the red ever since you left this town
Dm Am G Am
Even if you decide to turn it all around
Am G Am
Baby slow down
Dm G Am
Baby slow down
