[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A
Time and time again they'd say
A
It'll all pay off one day
E
But I ran away to play
D A
I never cared much anyway
A
I'm behind again today
A
You gotta mind the line they say
E
But I wouldn't let them sway
D A
Where my focus had been laid
[Chorus]
E D
It's a slippery slope indeed and I'm slidin'
E D
As I pick up speed I keep on ridin'
A
My life away, my life away
E D
It's a slippery slope indeed and I'm slidin'
E D
As I pick up speed I keep on ridin'
A
My life away, my life away
[Verse 2]
A
They'd climb and clibe the day away
A
Even if the skies are gray
E
I'd slip into decay
D A
Lookin back it feels so cliche
A
Reason or rhyme don't come into play
A
I'd drink myself to a state of dismay
E
I didn't know I'd pay
D A
But the rent's due everyday
[Chorus]
E D
It's a slippery slope indeed and I'm slidin'
E D
As I pick up speed I keep on ridin'
A
My life away, my life away
E D
It's a slippery slope indeed and I'm slidin'
E D
As I pick up speed I keep on ridin'
A
My life away, my life away
[Solo]
A A E D A
A A E D A
[Chorus]
E D
It's a slippery slope indeed and I'm slidin'
E D
As I pick up speed I keep on ridin'
A
My life away, my life away
E D
It's a slippery slope indeed and I'm slidin'
E D
As I pick up speed I keep on ridin'
A
My life away, my life away
A
My life away, my life away
A
My life away, my life away
A
My life away
E A
