Tom: C

              C                Am
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
              C                G          F               G      C
You know the nearer your destination, the more you slip sliding away
                   Am                    C
Whoah and I know a man, he came from my hometown
             F                            Fm
He wore his passion for his woman like a thorny crown
         C                 Am
He said Dolores, I live in fear
             C              G            F         G         C
My love for you's so overpowering, I'm afraid that I will disappear

(Chorus)
         Am                    C
I know a woman, (who) became a wife
              F                      Fm
These are the very words she uses to describe her life
           C                     Am
She said a good day ain't got no rain
           C                    G
She said a bad day is when I lie in the bed
      F                   G           C
And I think of things that might have been

(Chorus)
             Am               C
And I know a father who had a son
             F                                Fm
He longed to tell him all the reasons for the things he'd done
          C                  Am
He came a long way just to explain
              C             G
He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping
        F                    G            C
Then he turned around and he headed home again

(Chorus)
               Am                   C
Whoah God only knows, God makes his plan
         F                           Fm
The information's unavailable to the mortal man
           C                        Am
We're workin' our jobs, collect our pay
              C                G                F           G            C
Believe we're gliding down the highway, when in fact we're slip sliding away

(Chorus repeats 2x)
