Slipping Away

G C G
Monday's promise is Tuesday's lie
D7 G
Saturday's party is Sunday's fight
C G
Something's wrong with you and I
D7 G
Love's gone wrong that used to be right
C G
And I can feel it slipping away
Slowly slowly slipping away
C G
It'll be gone in a few more days
D7 G
If we don't stop this love of ours from slipping away
C G
Wednesday's kisses are Thursday's frowns
D7 G
We can't live two days in a row
C G
When our world's not upside down
D7 G
Here we stand watching it go
Repeat #2
C G
Roses are red violets are blue
D7 G
Sugar is sweet some of the time
C G
This puzzle's missing a piece or two
D7 G
We've got the grapes but never the wine
Repeat #2
