[G] [Em] [G] [Em]
Slip sliding a[G]away, slip sliding a[Em]away
You know the [G]nearer your desti[D]destination, the [C]more you're slip [D]sliding a[G]away
I know a [Em]man, he came from [G]my hometown
He wore his [C]passion for his [D]woman like a [C]thorny crown[C7]crown
He said Do[G]Dolores, I live in [Em]fear
My love for [G]you's so over[D]overpowering, I'm a[C]afraid that [D]I will disap[G]pear
Slip sliding a[G]away, slip sliding a[Em]away
You know the [G]nearer your desti[D]destination, the [C]more you're slip [D]sliding a[G]away
And I know a [Em]woman, [D] became a [G]wife
These are the [C]very words she [D]uses to des[C]describe her life[C7]life
She said a [G]good day ain't got no [Em]rain
She said a [G]bad day is when I [D]lie in bed
And [C]think of [D]things that might have [G]been
Slip sliding a[G]away, slip sliding a[Em]away
You know the [G]nearer your desti[D]destination, the [C]more you're slip s[D]liding aw[G]ay [F] [C] [G]
And I know a [Em]fathe[D]father who had a [G]son
He longed to [C]tell him all the [D]reasons for the [C]things he’d done[C7]done
He came a [G]long way just to ex[Em]explain
He kissed his [G]boy as he lay [D]sleeping
Then he [C]turned around and [D]headed home a[G]again
He's slip slid[G]sliding, slip sliding a[Em]away
You know the [G]nearer your desti[D]destination, the
[C]more you're slip [D]sliding a[G]away [F] [C] [G] [F] [C] [G]
And God only [Em]knows, God makes his [G]plan
The [C]information's un[D]unavailable to the [C]mortal man[C7]man
We're workin our [G]jobs, collect our [Em]pay
Believe we're [G]gliding down the [D]highway, when in [C]fact we're slip [D]sliding a[G]away
Slip sliding a[G]away, slip sliding a[Em]away
You know the [G]nearer your desti[D]destination, the [C]more you're slip [D]sliding a[G]away
Slip sliding a[G]away, slip sliding a[Em]away
You know the [G]nearer your desti[D]destination, the [C]more you're slip [D]sliding a[G]away
