Intro
[Bbmaj7] [Bb6/9] [Ebmaj9] [Fmaj7]
[Bbmaj7] [Bb6/9] [Ebmaj7] [Fmaj9]
Verse 1
[Bbmaj9] [Ebmaj9]
Girl I'm in love with you, but this ain't the honey moon.
[Fadd2]
We're past the infatuation phase.
[Bbmaj7] [Ebmaj9]
We're right in the thick of love. At times we get sick of love.
[Fmaj13]
It seems like we argue every day.
Pre-Chorus 1
[Bbmaj7] [Ebmaj9]
I know I've misbehaved and you've made your mistakes
[Fmaj9]
and we've both still got room left to grow.
[Bbmaj7] [Ebmaj9]
And though love sometimes hurts, I still put you first.
[Fmaj9]
And we'll make this thing work but I think we should take it slow.
Chorus
[Bbmaj9] [Ebmaj9] [Fmaj7]
We're just ordinary people. We don't know which way to go.
[Bbmaj7] [Ebmaj7] [Ebmaj9] [Fmaj9]
'cause we're ordinary people, maybe we should take it slow.
[Bbmaj7] [Ebmaj9] [Fmaj9]
Take it slow, oh oh. This time we'll take it slow.
[Bbmaj7] [Ebmaj9] [Fmaj13]
Take it slow, oh oh. This time we'll take it slow.
Verse 2
[Bbmaj9] [Ebmaj9]
This ain't a movie, naw. No fairy tale conclusion, y'all.
[Fmaj7]
It gets more confusing every day.
[Bbmaj9] [Ebmaj9]
Oh, sometimes it's heaven sent, then we head back to hell again.
[Fmaj7]
We kiss then we make up on the way.
Pre-Chorus 2
[Bbmaj7] [Ebmaj9]
I hang up, you call. We rise and we fall,
[Fmaj9]
and we feel like just walking away.
[Bbmaj7] [Ebmaj9]
But as our love advances, we take second chances.
[Fmaj9]
Though it's not a fantasy, I still want you to stay.
Chorus
[Bbmaj9] [Ebmaj9] [Fmaj7]
We're just ordinary people. We don't know which way to go.
[Bbmaj7] [Ebmaj7] [Ebmaj9] [Fmaj9]
'cause we're ordinary people, maybe we should take it slow.
[Bbmaj7] [Ebmaj9] [Fmaj9]
Take it slow, oh oh. This time we'll take it slow.
[Bbmaj7] [Ebmaj9] [Fmaj9]
Take it slow, oh oh. This time we'll take it slow.
Bridge
[Bbm7]
Take it slow.
[Db/Eb]
Maybe we'll live and learn. Maybe we'll crash and burn.
[Fmaj9]
Maybe you'll stay; maybe you'll leave; maybe you'll return.
[Bbm7] [Db/Eb]
Maybe another fight; maybe we won't survive;
[Fmaj9]
But maybe we'll grow. We never know, baby, you and I.
Chorus
[Bbmaj9] [Ebmaj9] [Fmaj7]
We're just ordinary people. We don't know which way to go.
[Bbmaj7] [Ebmaj7] [Ebmaj9] [Fmaj9]
'cause we're ordinary people, maybe we should take it slow.
[Bbmaj7] [Ebmaj9] [Fmaj9]
Take it slow, oh oh. This time we'll take it slow.
[Bbmaj7] [Ebmaj9] [Fmaj9]
Take it slow, oh oh. This time we'll take it slow.
Outro
[Bbmaj7] [Ebmaj9]
Take it slow, oh oh.
[Fmaj9]
This time we'll take it slow.
[Bbmaj7] [Ebmaj9]
Take it slow, oh oh.
[Fmaj7]
This time we'll take it slow.
[Bbmaj7] [Ebmaj7] [Ebmaj9] [Fmaj7]
Take it slow, slow. This time we'll take it slow.
[Bbmaj7] [Ebmaj7] [Fmaj13]
Take it slow, oh oh. This time we'll take it slow.
