Em
Slip slidin' away..slip slidin' away.

You know the nearer your destination,

the more you're slip slidin' away.
#1.
G
I know a man..he came from my home town.
D
He wore his passion for his woman like a

thorny crown.
Em
He said, Dol...ores, I live in fear.
C
My love for you's so overpowering, I'm afraid
G
that I will disappear.
CHORUS:
Em
Slip slidin' away..slip slidin' away.
D
You know the nearer your destination,
G
the more you're slip slidin' away.
#2.
G
I know a woman..became a wife.
C
These are the very words she uses to describe
her life.
Em
She said, A good day..Ain't got no rain.
D
She said, A bad day's when I lie in bed
G
and think of things that might have been.
CHORUS:
Em
Slip slidin' away..slip slidin' away.

the more you're slip slidin' away.

I know a fath..er, who had a son.
D

things he'd done.

then he turned around and headed home again.

Slip slidin' away..slip slidin' away.

God only knows..God makes his plan.
C
The information's unavailable to the mortal man.
Em
We're working our jobs..collect our pay,
D
believe we're gliding down the highway,
G
when in fact we're slip slidin' away.
CHORUS:
Em
Slip slidin' away..slip slidin' away.
D
You know the nearer your destination,
G
the more you're slip slidin' away.
CHORUS:
Em
Slip slidin' away..slip slidin' away.
D
You know the nearer your destination,
G
the more you're slip slidin' away.
