[Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And now you [Bb] seem so [Eb] far away
[Db] And only [Fm] yesterday I thought that [Eb] we [G] were getting [Ab] closer
_ [Eb] _
Instead [Bb] of hanging out on [Eb] the line
[Bb] Hoping you'd take [Fm] time enough [G] to notice
That [Ab] we both could [Eb] understand
[Ab] We're old and we're [Cm] low
[Bb] And looking past [Eb] the places where
[C] The seed [Fm] of love could grow
And [Eb] the future could [Ab] be less than [Eb] love
[Gb] But you just [Gbm] keep slipping [Bbm] _
away
Why you wanna [Gbm] keep on slipping [Bbm] away?
Oh, [Eb] somewhere in [Db] your heart I know
[Gb] You will see [G] that I'm [Db] on your [Ab] side
[F] I am on [Bbm] your side
[G] I [Cm] can't [Gm] believe it takes [Cm] so long
[E] For something that's [Ab] so strong
To [Eb] truly [G] take away [Ab] the weakness
[Cm] _ _ Maybe [F] I haven't made [Cm] it clear
[Db] Day after [Eb] day [Ab] and year [G] by year
[Ab] I keep saying
[Eb] _ [Ab] My [Eb] _ [Cm] imagination's gone
[Bb] [D] There's a warm [Eb] reality
[Bb] That helps [Fm] me make the space [Eb] between us
[Ab] So much closer
[Eb] _ [Gb] And you won't keep slipping [Eb] away
[Bbm] _ You ain't gonna [Gbm] keep on slipping [Bb] away
_ _ [Bbm] Somehow in your mind I [Gb] know
You will see [Eb] that I am [Ab] on your side
[F] I am on [Bbm] your [Cm] side
[F] _ [Abm] _ _ _ _
I can't believe it [Cm] _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ [Abm] takes so long
For _ _ _ something that's so strong
Day after day and year by year
I keep [Eb] saying
[Fm] My _ _

[Bb] There's a warm [Eb] reality
[Db] _ _ [Fm] _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ [F] _ [Bbm] _ That helps me [Db] make the space between [Gb] us
So much closer
And you won't [Gbm] keep slipping away
You ain't gonna keep on [Bbm] slipping [Bb] away
_ [Bbm] _ Somehow in [Db] your mind I know
[Gb] You will see [G] that I am [Ab] on your [F] side
[Bbm] And I'm never gonna [Ebm] let [F] you slip [Bbm] away
_ _ [Gb] _ _ [Gbm] You won't keep [Bbm] slipping away
_ _ [Eb] Somehow in [Db] your mind I [Gb] know
