SLIP SLIDING AWAY Chorus: G Em Slip sliding away, slip sliding away G D C D G ( F / C ) You know the nearer your destination, the more you slip sliding away Em G Whoah and I know a man, lived in my hometown C Cm He wore his passion for his woman like a thorny crown G Em He said Dolores, I live in fear G D C D G My love for you's so overpowering, I'm afraid that I will disappear chorus I know a woman, (who) became a wife These are the very words she uses to describe her life She said a good day ain't got no rain She said a bad day is when I lie in bed And think of things that might have been chorus And I know a father who had a son He longed to tell him all the reasons for the things he'd done He came a long way just to explain He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping Then he turned around and headed home again chorus Whoah God only knows, God makes his plan The information's unavailable to the mortal man We work in our jobs, collect our pay Believe we're gliding down the highway, when in fact we're slip sliding away chorus repeats 2x
