I can feel you slipping away from me
A little bit further now every day
I'm holding on, but I can't believe
This is how you want it to be
O-oh, you're slipping away
O-oh, you're slipping away
| G | % | G F/G | C/G G |
It feels like walking down a long, dark road
You never talk to me the way you did before
You ride through the city with your head held high
And all I can do is watch you go by
O-oh, you're slipping away
O-oh, you're slipping away
| G | % | G F/G | C/G G |
You're slipping away
You're slipping away
You're slipping away
You're slipping away
You're slipping away
You're slipping away
(sus4)
You're slipping away
I'm gonna give it all I've got to give
I've got to hold on, see what tomorrow brings
You're slipping away, but give me one more try
One more chance to wipe these tears from my eyes
You're slipping away
O-oh, you're slipping away
You're slipping away
You're slipping away
You're slipping away
You're slipping away
(tacet)
(tacet)
You're slipping away
| G | D | A | % |
O-oh, you're slipping away
O-oh, you're slipping away
O-oh, you're slipping away
