[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Slip slidin' [G]away
Slip slidin' [Em]away
You know the near[G]er
your destina[D]tion
[C]The more you're slip [D]slidin' away
[G]

[Verse 2]
I know a [Em]man, he came from [G]my home town
He wore his [C]passion for
[D]his woman like [C]a thorny crown
He said [G]"Delores, I live in [Em]fear
My love for [G]you is so over[D]powering

I'm [C]afraid that [D]I will disapp[G]ear"
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' [Em]away
You know the near[G]er
your destina[D]tion

[Verse 4]
[C]The more you're slip [D]slidin' [G]away
I know [Em]a woman, became a w[G]ife
These are [C]the very words she
[D]uses to [C]describe her life
She said [G]"A good day
ain't got [Em]not rain"

[Verse 5]
She said [G]"A bad day's when I [D]lie in bed
And I [C]think of things [D]that
might [G]have been"
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
[Em]

You know the near[G]er your destina[D]tion

And I know a [C]father [D]who had a s[G]on
He longed to [C]tell him all the [D]reasons
for [C]the things he had done

[Verse 7]
He came [G]a long way just to [D]explain
[Em]He kissed his [G]boy as he lay [D]sleeping
Then [C]he turned around and he
[D]headed home [G]again

Slip slidin' away

Slip slidin' [D]away[Em]
You know the near[G]er
your destin[D]ation

God only [Em]knows, God makes his [G]plan

[Verse 9]
The inform[C]ation's un[D]available
to the [C]mortal man
We're working [G]our jobs,
collect [Em]our pay
Believe we're [G]gliding
down the [D]highway
When in [C]fact we're slip [D]slidin' away
[G]
