Slipping Away chords by Switchfoot

Intro:

D G x4


Verse 1:

  D                     G
Remember coming home at four in the morning
D                  G
Before the sun was up
D                        G
Back when the east was a fire of gold
     D                           G              D
Just waiting for the rest of the sky to fall in love

   G
Yeah

    D                       G
Our hope is just a metaphor, of something better
    D                   G
For all of our dreams tonight
    D                       G                           D
And fear is just a shadow of the things that matter the most
                    G
And I fear that I'm losing hope tonight


Chorus:

D
Oh oh
I feel like I'm dreaming
Oh oh
Staring up at the ceiling
G
Oh oh
It's four in the morning
I can't sleep and it feels like a warning
D
Oh oh
You wouldn't believe me
If I could say it just the way that I'm feeling
G
Oh oh
The words that I wanted to say
I feel them slipping away


D G x4


Verse 2:

  D
Remember that kid with the quivering lip
Whose heart was on his sleeve like a first aid kit
Where are you now? Where are you now?

Remember that kid, didn't know when to quit
I still lose my breath when I think about it
Oh, where'd you go?
    G
(Oh where'd you go?)


Chorus:

D
Oh oh
I feel like I'm dreaming
Oh oh
Staring up at the ceiling
G
Oh oh
It's four in the morning
I can't sleep and it feels like a warning
D
Oh oh
You wouldn't believe me
If I could say it just the way that I'm feeling
G
Oh oh
The words that I wanted to say
I feel them slipping away


Bridge:

Bm                           D
  I know this isn't what you wanted
                              G
Past words in the present are haunting us now

And on and on and on and on
Bm                                 D
  My heartbeat could tell you it's urgent
                       G
I try to shout but the words don't come out


Chorus:

D
Oh oh
I feel like I'm dreaming
Oh oh
Staring up at the ceiling
G
Oh oh
It's four in the morning
I can't sleep and it feels like a warning
D
Oh oh
You wouldn't believe me
If I could say it just the way that I'm feeling
G
Oh oh
The words that I wanted to say
I feel them slipping away
