[Verse 1]
A
There you go
E F
Slipping away into a state of grace
Dm A#
I know the look that comes across your face
E A
It's so familiar to me
A
Here I am
E F
Trying to keep you in my line of sight
Dm A#
I'm never certain that you read me right
E A
Sometimes you don't want to see
[Chorus]
F#m
Here we are
E F#m
Both of us know we're in love
E F#m
But that isn't always enough
E Bm E
I never could rise above it all, down I fall
[Verse 2]
A
But darling there you go
E F
Slipping away into a state of grace
Dm A#
Granted, this world is not a perfect place
E A
Still it's the world that I'm in
A
Here I am
E F
Talking while you don't hear a word I say
Dm A#
Knowing you're watching me from far away
E A
Somewhere that I've never been
[Bridge]
E
Don't you see
Gm F#m
You lived a different life than me
Fm A E
It don't mean you have to be afraid of how
Bm E
We're not the same, don't leave me now
A
But darling there you go
E F Dm A# Dm E A
Slipping away
[Chorus]
F#m
How can I
E F#m
Get you to stay where you are?
E F#m
Keep you from going too far
E Bm E
Holding you here is so hard to do, I'm losing you
A
And darling there you go
E F
Slipping away into a state of grace
Dm A#
Drifting away into your sacred place
E A
Someplace that I've never been
[Ending]
A
There you go
E F
Slipping away
Dm E A
Slipping away into a state of grace
A
There you go
E F E A
Slipping away into a state of grace
Dm A# E A
Yeah, drifting away into that sacred place
