Chords By Reneh "sheik" Karamians
 C                             Em
Slip slidin away Slip slidin away
               G                D
You know the nearer your destination
    F                D         G
The more you're slip slidin  away
         Em                  G6
I know a man He came from my home town
             C               D
He wore his passion for his woman
       C                     G
Like a thorny crown He said Delores
            Em               G            D
I live in fear  My love for you is so overpowering
   C           D          G
I'm afraid that I will disappear
               C               Em
Slip slidin away Slip slidin away
                G                D
You know the nearer your destination
    F                D       C
The more you're slip slidin away
          Em               G6
I know a woman Became a wife
               C              D
These are the very words she uses
      C                         G
To describe her life She said a good day
             Em
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
               C               Em
Slip slidin away Slip slidin away
               G                D
You know the nearer your destination
    F                D       G    F,C,G
The more you're slip slidin away
              Em  D            G
And I know a father Who had a son
              C                D
He longed to tell him all the reasons
        C                 C
For the things he'd done
             G6            Em
He came a long way Just to explain
              G             D
He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping
        C                 D           G
Then he turned around and headed home again
               C               Em
Slip slidin away Slip slidin away
              G                D
You know the nearer your destination
    F                D       G   F,C,G,F,C,G
The more you're slip slidin away
          Em                   G
God only knows God makes his plan
         C           D
The information's unavailable
       C                     G                  Em
To the mortal man We work our jobs Collect our pay
               G                D
Believe we're gliding down the highway
        C               D        G
When in fact we're slip slidin away
               C                 Em
Slip slidin away Slip slidin away
               G                D
You know the nearer your destination
    F                D        G               Em
The more you're slip slidin away Slip slidin away
              G
You know the nearer your destination
    C                D      G
The more you're slip slidin away
