Slipping chords by Eryn Allen Kane

Intro:

Am C


Verse 1:

C         Em        Am        Em
Slipping, slipping, slipping away
F                                 G
I can tell you're not content and you don't want to tell me that
       C         Em        Am         G
You're slipping, slipping, slipping away
F
Like a bud that never bloomed
G

And now can't stand the heat of June
C      Em           Am        G     C        Em      Am     G
Little light you've lost your glow, you just cry and no one knows
C         Em                 Am                 G
That love isn't your friend, your friends are gone
           F                    G
But I say, it's okay, it's okay


Refrain:

Em                                                           Dm  G
Ditchin' this town 'fore I drown and there's one more open seat, trust in me
Em                                                                            Dm       G
Take my hand, there's a big old world and I'll show you everything you wanna see, see, see
               C    Em  Am  Em  F  G
Anything you wanna see


Verse 2:

C         Em        Am         G
Drifting, drifting, drifting away
F                                 G
You can tell I'm not content, but bitten nails prove some relent
    C         Em        Am         Em
I'm drifting, drifting, drifting away
F                           G
Like a tide under the moon, low and silently at tune
C              Em      Am        G
I thought that I would find your glow
C      Em      Am    G
I just cry because I know
     C               Em       Am
That love is your friend, and that friend is me
G       F                      G
But you never noticed a friend


Refrain:

Em                                                           Dm  G
Ditchin' this town 'fore I drown and there's one more open seat, trust in me
Em                                                                            Dm       G
Take my hand, there's a big old world and I'll show you everything you wanna see, see, see
               C    Em  Am
Anything you wanna see
Em             C       Em  F
Anything you wanna see


Verse 3:

G#                  D#                    Bb
Blue bird locked up inside of me, I can't let you be free
       G#                         D#            Bb
So for now I'll keep you tucked away with memories of willow trees
              F                          C#
Hopelessly defenseless, love has left us breathless
                 G#                  D#
Tell me you're a liar, we will never win this
                   F                            C#
I chased away your demons, you're always in the deep end
                        G                       C  Em  Am  C  F
There's a black hole in my heart and it won't stop


Outro:

G      C             Em            Am         G  F  G  C
