INSTRUMENTAL (the same as the INTRO) 


VERSE 1: 

Em                        C           
   Let the world keep its carnival pace 
Em                  Am       
   I prefer to look into your beautiful face 
             B 
What a waste 


VERSE 2:
 
Em                  C                  
   Let the stars continue to fly by 
Em                    Am       
   I don't have one desire to understand why 
             B 
I don't try 



 Em 
Slow, slow 
   C 
As slow as you can go 
  G#                G 
I want my senses to overflow 
 G# 
Slow, slow 
D                 G 
  And doesn't it show 
  Em (riff) 
O-oh... 


VERSE 3:
 
Em                C 
   I don't need a race in my bed 
Em                    Am 
   When speed's in my heart and speed's in my head 
        B 
Instead 


VERSE 4:
 
Em                   C 
   It's tempting for fools to rush in 
Em                     Am 
   When something's so good why should we rush a thing 
           B 
It's a sin 


BRIDGE:
 
 Em 
Slow, slow,  
   C 
As slow as you can go 
             Em (riff) 
That's how I like it 
I like it 


VERSE 5:
 
Em                C 
   I don't need a race in my bed 
Em                                            Am 
   When speed's in my heart and speed's in my head 
        B 
Instead 


END:
 
 Em 
Slow, slow, 
    C 
As slow as you can go 
             Em (riff) 
That's how I like it 
I like it... 
            
That's how I like it...
