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
