Intro: E A F#m A
E                     A  F#m                       A
Mommy's in the kitchen,  cooking up something good
    E                  A  F#m                      A
and daddy's on the sofa,  pride of the neighborhood.
   E                      A    F#m                 A
My brother's in the ballet, it seems he's got it set
    E                     A  F#m                   A
and I'll be up at midnight,  with my cigarette.
E        Am             F        Bm11
Oh when life moves this slowly,
E        Am            F        Bm11
oh just try and let it go.
E        Am             F        Bm11
Oh when life moves this slowly
E        Am            F        Bm11
oh just try and let it go.
E
E                      A  F#m                        A
Daddy's in the basement,  cooking up something fine.
      E                         A  F#m                   A
While rick's out on the pavement,  flipping it for dimes.
           E                 A    F#m                A
If there's anything redeeming,  I haven't seen it yet
    E                       A  F#m                   A
and I'm still up at midnight,  chewing nicorette.
E        Am             F        Bm11
Oh when life moves this slowly,
E        Am            F        Bm11
oh just try and let it go.
E        Am             F        Bm11
Oh when life moves this slowly,
E        Am            F        Bm11      E
oh just try and let it go.

Some tips:

1)You can change some chords to play it easier:
                 E A D G B e
G13sus4  ->  F#: 2 4 4 3 2 2
Bm11     ->  C9: - 3 2 3 3 -  (You can play too this chord with the first string as 0)
2)I play the intro like this, after that I play the chords normally because is harder to play and sing at the 
same time:

e|-----3-3-3-3-3-3----5-5-5-5-5-5-7----2-2-2-2-2-2----5-5-5-5-5-5-7------|
B|-----3-3-3-3-3-3----5-5-5-5-5-5-5----2-2-2-2-2-2----5-5-5-5-5-5-5------|
G|-----4-4-4-4-4-4----6-6-6-6-6-6-6----2-2-2-2-2-2----6-6-6-6-6-6-6------|
D|-----5-5-5-5-5-5----5-5-5-5-5-5-5----4-4-4-4-4-4----5-5-5-5-5-5-5------|
A|-----5-5-5-5-5-5----7-7-7-7-7-7-7----4-4-4-4-4-4----7-7-7-7-7-7-7------|
E|-----3-3-3-3-3-3----5-5-5-5-5-5-5----2-2-2-2-2-2----5-5-5-5-5-5-5------|

3)Palm mute when you think is necesary, sound better in my opinion.
