7 Chords Lyrics by Michael Buono

Slow It Down

2016

[Verse 1]
We're all taught that two and two is four
The north and south fought hard in the civil war
There's an opposite reaction to every force
Baseball is by far the perfect sport (what?)


[PreChorus 1]
But the best thing that I've learned
Isn't Hemingway or indifference curves
It took years to find but it's alright cause now I get it


[Chorus]
There's the 1 the 4
God knows that we've all heard that move before
And if you're anyone you love the 2 5 1, oh oh
But my favorite must be the major 3 with the 6 back to the 4
It gets me every time yeah that's for sure
Yeah use em right for good not evil not every songs created equal
It's the 7 chords of highly effective people


[Verse 2]
It doesn't matter if you're feeling good or feeling bad
Whether you're in love with Stacy's mom or maybe her dad
If you're a rocket man or you're never going back to rehab
Or you'd do anything for love, but you won't do that


[PreChorus 2]
No matter you feel there's no secrets here ya there's only one hand that's been dealt
If there's a song in your heart and you don't know where to start well here's what you're looking at


[Chorus]
There's the 1 the 4
God knows that we've all heard that move before
And if you're anyone you love the 2 5 1, oh oh
But my favorite must be the major 3 with the 6 back to the 4
It gets me every time yeah that's for sure
Yeah use em right for good not evil not every songs created equal
It's the 7 chords of highly effective


[Bridge]
People say you've gotta walk before you learn to run
And so I think the 7 chords are a good start for anyone
But the most important thing is feeling what you're trynna say
Ya let your heart take you away


[Chorus]
There's the 1, the 4
That's every pop song you've ever heard before
And you can always have some fun with 2 5 1 ohhh
But the one into the major 3
Ya it really does the most for me
It gets me deep inside ya that's for sure
Well use em right for good not evil not every songs created equal It's the 7 chords of highly effective people
