Slip Away
Capo 3rd
[Verse 1]
Am G
Could you set aside a little time
F C
To soothe your soul and rest your mind
Am G Em C G
Tomorrow just might be a brand-new day
Am G
On every other day youll wear that frown
F C
When its left foot, right foot, six foot down
Am G Am
Sometimes its alright not to be okay
[Pre-Chorus]
F G C
They tell you that a smile belongs to the status quo
F G Am
And if you think about something else youll be on your way
[Chorus]
F G
But when youre crashing down
Am Em
and only love can bring you round
F G C
Bend my ear before you slip away
[Verse 2]
Am G
It was never meant to end this way
F C
All you had and all you gave
Am G Em C G
tragedy, chemical dismay
Am G
On every other day you wore that crown
F C
It fit you well but beat you down
Am G Am
Now we’re weeping in the garden sans sound
[Pre-Chorus]
F G C
They wanna tell you that the smile belongs to the status quo
F G Am
And if you think about something else youll be on your way
[Chorus]
F G
But when youre crashing down
Am Em
and only love can bring you round
F G C
Bend my ear before you slip away
[Solo]
Am G F C
Am G Am
[Chorus]
F G
But when youre crashing down
Am Em
and only love can bring you round
F G C
Bend my ear before you slip away
[Verse 3]
Am G
Set aside a little time
F C
To soothe your soul and rest your mind
Am G Em C G
Scream till you’ve got nothing left to say
Am G
It was never meant to end this way
F C
Bend my ear and swear to stay
Am G C
Cause sometimes its alright not to be okay
