[Intro 1]
[G][Em][G][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Slip sliding away,
[G]slip sliding awa[Em]y
You know the [G]nearer your des[D]tiny,
the more [C]you [D]slip sliding [G]away
I know a [Em]man, he came from [G]my hometown
He wore his [C]passion for his [D]woman
like a [C]thorny crown
He said, [G]Dolores, I live [Em]in fear
A love un[G]used or em[D]powered,
[C]I'm afraid I'll [D]disappear[G]
Slip -sliding away, slip -sliding [Em]away
You know the [G]nearer your destina[D]tion,
the [C]I you slip s[D]liding a[C]way[G]
I know a [Em]wo man
Became a [G]wife
These are the [C]very words
she [D]used to describe [C]her life
She says a [G]good day
Ain't got [Em]no rain
She says her [G]bad days are when [D]I lie i[C]n bed
and think of [D]things that might [G]have been
Slip sliding away, slip [D]sliding any[Em]way
You know the [D]nearer your destination
the [C]more you slip [D]slide [C]away[G][F][C][G]
I know a [Em]father [D]who had a son[G]
He longed to [C]tell him the reason
[D]for all [C]the things he'd done
He came a [G]long ways just to ex[Em]plain
He kissed his [G]boy and he lay [D]sleeping
and turned [C]around [D]and hit home again,
[G]slip sliding away,
slip sliding [Em]away.
You know the nearer your
destina[D]tion,
[C]the more you slip [D]slide away.
[C][G][F][C][G][F][C][G]
God only [Em]knows, God makes his [G]plans
The informa[C]tion unavail
[D]able to the [C]mortal man
We work our [G]jobs, collect our [Em]pay
Believe we're [G]gliding
down the [D]highway
When [C]in fact you slip [D]sliding [G]away
Slip sliding away
Slip sliding [Em]away
You know the [G]nearer your destina[D]tion
The more [C]you slip [D]slide [G]away
Slip sliding [C]away[G]
Slip sliding [Em]away
you know that they're your destination.
