The World Ain’t Slowing Down by Ellis Paul Chords by Jolo A/N: not a 100% accurate but still works for me. Listen to the song carefully so you’ll the whole picture Capo on 4th fret (C-Em-A5-G)= is a bit that is played after some of the lines of the song in quick succession) Intro : --- (C---G) I found you sitting on a suitcase crying (C---G) Beneath my feet, I feel the rumble of a subway train (C---G) I laugh out loud, 'cause it's the one thing I hadn't been trying The train came in breathless, The passenger’s restless You say, "Baby, you'll never change" Chorus: You gotta get gone, you gotta get going Hey, the world ain't slowing down for no one It's a carnival calling out to you It sounds like a song, Hits you like scripture You paint the picture , With colors squeezed from your hand Weren't you the kid who just climbed on the merry-go-round Hey look, the world ain't slowing down He-Hey, hey, the world ain't slowing down (C--A5) Hey, hey... Out on the sidewalk, Pigeon's do the moonwalk (C--A5) I'll be dancing like Fred Astaire The lamppost's are rocking, The whole town's talking (C---G) Like a fool in a barber's chair And I get the sensation, The joy and frustration (C---G) Like being caught by a tropical rain Freedom can numb you, When there's no place to run to It feels just like Novo cane You gotta get gone, you gotta get going Hey, the world ain't slowing down for no one It's a carnival calling out to you (it’s callin’ out to you) It sounds like a song, Hits you like scripture You paint the picture , With colors squeezed from your hand Weren't you the kid who just climbed on the merry-go-round Hey look, the world ain't slowing down He-Hey, hey, the world ain't slowing down (C---G) Hey, hey... You packed up all your handbags, Throwing off the sandbags I let go and you stepped free I didn't want to loose you , you said you didn't choose to, (C--A5) It's just how your karma came." But thanks for the vision, And the twenty-twenty wisdom It hit me like a south-bound train You gotta get gone, you gotta get going Hey, the world ain't slowing down for no one It's a carnival calling out to you (it’s callin’ out to you) It sounds like a song, Hits you like scripture You paint the picture , With colors squeezed from your hand Weren't you the kid who just climbed on the merry-go Weren't you the kid Who just climbed on the merry-go-- Weren't you the kid Who just climbed on the merry-go-round Hey look, the world ain't slowing down (C--A5) A-Hey, hey, the world ain't slowing down (C--A5) Hey, hey, it's a big, blue world It's a big, blue world (C-- x3) Rock my big, blue world
