Should be Slowing Down
Written by LBM
From the album 'Songs from the north of the heart'

This is one of many great songs written by LBM.
This song has a very David Gray feel to it, its a lyrical
masterpiece in my opinion, Compared to some songs we are
subjected to nowadays.(it also rings very true!)

Verse 1
Em E7 G6 C
Money to blow, dice to throw in a gamblers paradise
Am Am7 E E7 E E7
Livin’s the same, its a crooked game, till the day we’re wise
Em E7 G6 C
A ride on the train, love on the brain, its a patience exercise
Am Am7 E E7 E E7
Riding your luck, before your stuck, we’re all due a slice
Em E7 G6 C
Takin’ the grief, turnin’ the leaf, its the average mans way
Am Am7 E E7 E E7
Payin’ his fees, down on his knees, but theres never time to pray
Chorus
E Fmj7
But we never take time to slow things down
Dm G Am*
we’re all in such a rush these days
E Fmj7
Seems we wanna a city before we build a town
Dm G E7

Am* C*
Should be slowing down
(Repeat 3 times)
Verse 2
Time on your own, bored to the bone, its not the place for one
Desire and lust, a partners a must, but all the best have gone
Take to the road, lighten the load, with your memories driftin’ by
Stop for a break, it’s for your own sake, but you've never time to cry
Chorus
Bridge Part 1 (as verse)
Gear number five, makes you feel alive, but when you gonna realise
That gear number two maybe best for you, in someone else’s eyes
Bridge Part 2 (Played as verse but slowed down to 2 bars per one
chord in the verse)
Because it's all speed and greed theres no time to wait
Heading full on to an unknown fate
Tying knots too soon, bride or groom, should wait until their older.
Too many the same, such a shame, their leaning without a shoulder.
Chorus then repeated twice in full, finishes quietly with:
Am* C*
Na na nah, na na nah nah, na na nah nah nah nah nah

Enjoy!

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official LBM tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
