[Verse 1]
C
This whole world's always waitin' on tomorrow
         G                             Am
Itchin', fiendin' for whatever happens next
C
What if I told you they're all lying
      G                                      C
And I love you for who you are right now the best
C
Everyone thinks they're going the wrong way
            G                         Am
But they're looking at their maps all wrong
C
'Cause everywhere's somewhere to someone
         G                               C
And in a rush you cannot dance to smooth slow songs


[Chorus]
C                             G       Am
So I'm gonna slow on down someway somehow
  F            C               G
Today ain't different from the rest
Am      F
And the you that I pine for
       C
Oh the you that I need
       G                       C
Oh the you of right now is the best

[Verse 2]
C
This hatin’ heart healed by the hopeful
      G                              Am
And I think I got a song that you'll like
C
It’s awfully long and such a throatful
         G                          C
But it's perfect for a night like tonight
C
About you on the coastin' water
      G                         Am
Those wild waves crashed 'cross your skin
C
One of those days you miss already
             G                           C
And it ain't even had the damn chance to end
C
And I think grandfather's gone crazy
         G                     Am
He keeps ramblin' on about way back when
C
Braggin' 'bout grandma and war times
        G                            C
All the friends that he's lost once again


[Chorus]
C                             G       Am
So I'm gonna slow on down someway somehow
  F                            G
Today ain't different from the rest
        C
And the you that I pine for
       G          Am
Oh the you that I need
       F            C          G
Oh the you of right now is the best
