    Slipstream

(G) well I'm callin you
Cause you des(D)erve to know
That (Em) you were not the reason that I (C) had to go

(G) Late at night
In these (D) hotel rooms
(Em) I thnk of all I've (C) lost and what I've (D) put you thru

(Em) and if I knew the reason I would
(G) tell (C) you (G) why (D) somehow 
The feeling slipped away (C)

(G) I only did
What I (D) had to do
Not cause I (C) wanted to

I’ve got a guilty heart
And a troubled mind
No matter where I go
They’re never far behind

I’d like to think
That you’ve forgiven me
But forgiveness ain’t enough to wash my conscious clean

Oh and if I knew the reason I would tell you
Why somehow the feeling slipped away
I only did what I had to do
Not cause I wanted to
I only did what I had to do
Not cause I wanted to
