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
