IntroDmGmAmDmGmAmVerse 1DmGm
Girl I'm in love with you, but this ain't the honey moon.
Am
We're past the infatuation phase.
DmGm
We're right in the thick of love. At times we get sick of love.
Am
It seems like we argue every day.
ChorusDmGm
I know I've misbehaved and you've made your mistakes
Am
and we've both still got room left to grow.
DmGm
And though love sometimes hurts, I still put you first.
Am
And we'll make this thing work but I think we should take it slow.
ChorusDmGmAm
We're just ordinary people. We don't know which way to go.
DmGmGmAm
'cause we're ordinary people, maybe we should take it slow.
DmGmAm
Take it slow, oh oh. This time we'll take it slow.
DmGmAm
Take it slow, oh oh. This time we'll take it slow.
Verse 2DmGm
This ain't a movie, naw. No fairy tale conclusion, y'all.
Am
It gets more confusing every day.
DmGm
Oh, sometimes it's heaven sent, then we head back to hell again.
Am
We kiss then we make up on the way.
ChorusDmGm
I hang up, you call. We rise and we fall,
Am
and we feel like just walking away.
DmGm
But as our love advances, we take second chances.
Am
Though it's not a fantasy, I still want you to stay.
ChorusDmGmAm
We're just ordinary people. We don't know which way to go.
DmGmGmAm
'cause we're ordinary people, maybe we should take it slow.
DmGmAm
Take it slow, oh oh. This time we'll take it slow.
DmGmAm
Take it slow, oh oh. This time we'll take it slow.
BridgeBbm
Take it slow.
Db
Maybe we'll live and learn. Maybe we'll crash and burn.
Am
Maybe you'll stay; maybe you'll leave; maybe you'll return.
BbmDb
Maybe another fight; maybe we won't survive;
Am
But maybe we'll grow. We never know, baby, you and I.
ChorusDmGmAm
We're just ordinary people. We don't know which way to go.
DmGmAm
'cause we're ordinary people, maybe we should take it slow.
DmGmAm
Take it slow, oh oh. This time we'll take it slow.
DmGmAm
Take it slow, oh oh. This time we'll take it slow.
OutroDmGm
Take it slow, oh oh.
Am
This time we'll take it slow.
DmGm
Take it slow, oh oh.
Am
This time we'll take it slow.
DmGmGmAm
Take it slow, slow. This time we'll take it slow.
DmGmAm
Take it slow, oh oh. This time we'll take it slow.
