[Intro]      C    Em    Am    F   x2
 
 
[Verse]
C           Em         Am    F
 I never knew you before
            C                      Em           Am       F
 I've been walking around with my eyes on the floor
                C             Em
 But now you're everywhere to me
               Am          F
 You're every face that I see
               C             Em       Am   F
 Things ain't moving quick enough for me
 
 
[Chorus]
                   C
I guess I've been running 'round town
Em
Leaving my tracks
Am
Burning out rubber
 F
Driving too fast
     C         Em        Am    F
But I got to slow right down
 C                     Em
Back to the moment the very start
         Am                  F
From the very first day you had my heart
     C         Em        Am     F
But I got to slow right down
 
Slow it down
 
 
C    Em   Am    F   x2
 
 
[Verse]
 C                   Em
Wishing, wanting for something more
Am                    F
Always better than I had before
      C         Em              Am     F
Who knew this dream would come true
       C                 Em
And I run the red won't stop at night
Am                F
I don't care for traffic light
             C              Em       Am    F
Things ain't moving quick enough for me
 
 
[Chorus]
                   C
I guess I've been running 'round town
Em
Leaving my tracks
Am
Burning out rubber
 F
Driving too fast
     C         Em        Am    F
But I got to slow right down
 C                     Em
Back to the moment the very start
         Am                  F
From the very first day you had my heart
     C         Em        Am     F
But I got to slow right down
 
Slow it down
 
 
C    Em     Am    F    x4
 
 
[Bridge]
                   C
I guess I've been running 'round town
Em
Leaving my tracks
Am
Burning out rubber
 F
Driving too fast
     C         Em        Am    F
But I got to slow right down
 C                     Em
Back to the moment the very start
         Am                  F
From the very first day you had my heart
     C         Em        Am     F
But I got to slow right down
 
 
[Chorus]
                   C
I guess I've been running 'round town
Em
Leaving my tracks

Burning out rubber

 C                     Em
Back to the moment the very start
         Am                  F
From the very first day you had my heart
     C         Em        Am     F
But I got to slow right down
 
Slow it down
 
C    Em    Am    F    x4

It's nice to play along with these chords^^ I think both fit quit well but I prefer to play it without capo.
