[F] _ _ _ _ _ Slip [Ab] sliding away, _ _ slip sliding [Fm] _ away.
_ _ _ You [Ab] know the nearer your [Eb] destination, [Db] the more you slip [Ab] sliding away.
_ _ _ I know [Fm] a man, _ _ _ _ he [Ab] came from my hometown.
_ _ _ He [Db] wore his passion for his woman like a thorny crown.
_ _ He [Ab] said, Dolores, _ _ _ I [Fm] live in fear.
_ _ My [Ab] love for you is [Eb] so overpowering, [Db] I'm afraid that [Eb] I will [Ab] disappear. _ _
Slip sliding away, _ _ slip sliding [Fm] away. _ _
_ _ You know [Ab] the nearer your [Eb] destination, the [Db] more you slip sliding away.
[Ab] _ _
_ And I [Fm] know a woman, _ _ _ _ became [Ab] a wife. _
_ _ These [Db] are the very [Eb] words she uses [Db] to describe her _ [Db] life.
_ She said, [Ab] a good _ day _ _ ain't got [Fm] no room.
_ _ _ _ She said, a bad day's [Eb] when I lie in bed [Db] and think of [Eb] things that [Ab] might have been.
_ _ _ Slip sliding away, _ _ _ slip sliding [Fm] _ away.
_ _ _ You [Ab] know the nearer your [Eb] destination, [Db] the more you slip sliding [Ab] _ away.
_ [Gb] _ _ [Db] _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ And I know [Fm] a [Eb] father who [Ab] had a son.
He [Db] longed to tell him all the reasons for the things he'd done.
_ _ He [Ab] came a long way _ _ _ just [Fm] to explain. _ _
_ _ He [Ab] kissed his boy as he lay sleeping, [Db] then he turned around and headed [Ab] home again.
He _ slipped sliding, _ _ _ _ slip sliding [Fm] _ away. _
_ _ You [Ab] know the nearer your destination, [Db] the more you slip [Ab] sliding away. _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ God [Fm] only knows, _
[F] _ _ God [Ab] makes his plan. _
_ _ _ [Eb] The information's unavailable to [Db] the mortal man.
_ _ We're [Fm] working our jobs, _ _ _ collect our pay. _ _ _ _
[Ab] Believe we're gliding down the highway [Db] when in fact [Eb] we're slip [Ab] sliding away.
_ _ _ Slip sliding away, _ _ _ slip sliding [Fm] _ away.
_ _ _ You [Ab] know the nearer your destination, [Db] the more you slip [Ab] sliding away.
_ _ Slip sliding away, _ _ slip sliding [Fm] away.
_ _ _ _ You [Ab] know the nearer your [Eb] destination, [Db] the more you slip sliding _ away.
[Ab] _ _ _ Mmm, [Fm] mmm, mmm. _ _ _ _ _
