Slippin’ Away
Max Merritt

Intro: C Csus4 (repeat several times leading into verse)

C                     Csus4 C                     Csus4
Baby I’ve been watchin’ you (Baby I’ve been watchin’ you),
Dm7
Watchin’ every thing you do (Watching every thing you do),
and I just can’t help but feeling
                             C
someone else is stealing you away from me.

C                        Csus4   C                   Csus4
I see it written in your eyes,
    Dm7
and you confirm it with your lies.
Though the web you weave can hold me,
                                          C
I would rather that you told me where you wanna be.
