´m slipping away
In every way
I can´t stay awake
(and I don´t know why)
I´m slipping away
(and I don´t know why)
I´m trying to make it through each day
I´m falling apart now in every way
I´m finding it harder to get by
There´s a hole in my heart
And I don´t know why
Now I´ve come to realize
I´m slipping away

´m slipping away
In every way
I can´t stay awake
(and I don´t know why)
I´m slipping away
(and I don´t know why)
I´m trying to make it through each day
I´m falling apart now in every way
I´m finding it harder to get by
There´s a hole in my heart
And I don´t know why
Now I´ve come to realize
I´m slipping away

The next little verse is the same but it ends on a single F#5 and cuts of the little E5
thing after the words
The outro is just the chorus played on the cello.
´m slipping away
In every way
I can´t stay awake
(and I don´t know why)
I´m slipping away
(and I don´t know why)
I´m trying to make it through each day
I´m falling apart now in every way
I´m finding it harder to get by
There´s a hole in my heart
And I don´t know why
Now I´ve come to realize
I´m slipping away
