 C
Guess it's just another dream
      G
That's slipping away
C
Each time I fall asleep
            G
It seems I'm drifting away
C
Just as you have touched my heart
 D               D7
Babe I wake and we're apart
 G               D         G
Yeah, and it's slipping away

Here comes just another day
That's drifting away
Every time I draw a breath
It's dying away
First the sun and then the moon
                              G
One of them will be around soon
D           G
Slipping away
D           G
Slipping away

C  G
    Drifting away
C  G
    Slipping away, yeah

    Just as you have touched my heart
    I wake up babe and we're apart
    It seems we're slipping away
    Slipping away
    Slipping away

A#            D#
All I want is ecstacy
    A#               D#
But I ain't getting much
      A#             D#
Just getting off on misery
    A#                 D#  D G
It seems I've lost my touch

Well it's just another song
But it's slipping away
Well we didn't sing it long
'Cos it's fading away
First the sun and then the moon
One of them will be round soon
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away

D              C     G
Slipping  a-wa-a-a-a-ay
