C        Dm
I take it slow
              G                      C Csus4
And watch the flowers in my garden grow
C           Dm
The seasons go and they come back again
        G                                   C   Csus4
And the trees act like they're putting on a show

[Verse 2]
        F
I don't hide that I am tired
             G                      C
I don't have time to be a martyr anymore
          F
All these lines that gave me smiles
          G
Travelled time and covered miles
            C   Csus4
From which I come

[Chorus]
         Am
And I've come much farther
       G       C Csus4
Than I have to go
      Am
And I ran for so long
      G       C  Dm           F
Now I take it slow, I take it slow
          Dm              F
Because I know, I take it slow
          G
So I have more time left with you
   C
To hold

[Verse 3]
C        Dm         G
I fill my soul with southern ice tea
                   C   Csus4
Made just like from home
               Dm
My hands still hold the things
  Dm
I can't let go
            G
But there's room to grow
                            C   Csus4
When you're growing old, I'm told

[Chorus]
         Am
And I've come much farther
       G       C Csus4
Than I have to go
      Am
And I ran for so long
      G       C  Dm           F
Now I take it slow, I take it slow
          Dm              F
Because I know, I take it slow
          G
So I have more time left with you

[Bridge]
F   C
Ooooo
            G
And I still need my mother
F   C
Ooooo
            G
And I still miss my father
F  G Am
Ooooo
               G           F
I'll never have the answers
              Fm*
But I'll have flowers

[Chorus]
         Am*
And I've come much farther
       G*      C* Csus4*
Than I have to go
      Am*
And I ran for so long
      G*      C* Dm*          F*
Now I take it slow, I take it slow
          Dm*             F*
Because I know, I take it slow
          G*                     C
So I have more time left with you
