[Intro]
Am C
[Verse 1]
C Em Am Em
Slipping, slipping, slipping away
F G
I can tell you're not content and you don't want to tell me that
C Em Am G
You're slipping, slipping, slipping away
F
Like a bud that never bloomed
G
And now can't stand the heat of June
C Em Am G C Em Am G
Little light you've lost your glow, you just cry and no one knows
C Em Am G
That love isn't your friend, your friends are gone
F G
But I say, it's okay, it's okay
[Refrain]
Em Dm G
Ditchin' this town 'fore I drown and there's one more open seat, trust in me
Em Dm G
Take my hand, there's a big old world and I'll show you everything you wanna see, see, see
C Em Am Em F G
Anything you wanna see
[Verse 2]
C Em Am G
Drifting, drifting, drifting away
F G
You can tell I'm not content, but bitten nails prove some relent
C Em Am Em
I'm drifting, drifting, drifting away
F G
Like a tide under the moon, low and silently at tune
C Em Am G
I thought that I would find your glow
C Em Am G
I just cry because I know
C Em Am
That love is your friend, and that friend is me
G F G
But you never noticed a friend
[Refrain]
Em Dm G
Ditchin' this town 'fore I drown and there's one more open seat, trust in me
Em Dm G
Take my hand, there's a big old world and I'll show you everything you wanna see, see, see
C Em Am
Anything you wanna see
Em C Em F
Anything you wanna see
[Verse 3]
G# D# Bb
Blue bird locked up inside of me, I can't let you be free
G# D# Bb
So for now I'll keep you tucked away with memories of willow trees
F C#
Hopelessly defenseless, love has left us breathless
G# D#
Tell me you're a liar, we will never win this
F C#
I chased away your demons, you're always in the deep end
G C Em Am C F
There's a black hole in my heart and it won't stop
[Outro]
G C Em Am G F G C
So I'm slipping, I'm slipping, I'm slipping away
