This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

If they calm you down,

Then excite them

If they call you out,

Then ignore them.

You're speeding up

You're speeding up

To slow down

When they all believe,

You reject it.

When they all are for,

Be against it.

You're speeding up

You're speeding up

To slow down

If they call you out

They will tear you down

When your world falls in

Then they'll leave you dry

You're speeding up

You're speeding up

You're speeding up

To slow down

Down, down, down
