G Em He said, Dol...ores, I live in fear. G D C My love for you's so overpowering, I'm afraid D G that I will disappear. CHORUS: Em G Em Slip slidin' away..slip slidin' away. G D You know the nearer your destination, C D G the more you're slip slidin' away. #2. Em G I know a woman..became a wife. Em D C These are the very words she uses to describe her life. G Em She said, A good day..Ain't got no rain. G D She said, A bad day's when I lie in bed C D G and think of things that might have been. CHORUS: Em G Em Slip slidin' away..slip slidin' away. G D You know the nearer your destination, C D G the more you're slip slidin' away. #3. Em D G I know a fath..er, who had a son. C D He longed to tell him all the reasons for the C things he'd done.
