slide to G (x 10 12 12 xx)
Verse 1
EmWait just a little bit more
I feel you cause your breath is burning holes in my door
You love it when there's blood on your tongue and you're ready for war
But wait just a little bit more
Take what you came here for
I know you and I know you can't take anymore
You got me with your fingers on my throat and my head on the floor
You're taking what you came here for
Chorus: 
EmSo this is how I'm slipping away
EmYea this is how you want me to play
AYou know I love it but it's stopping today
I'm slipping awayEm  
EmOh I think that I should go
My house is burning out of control 
AI know you hate it and you want me to stay 
I'm slipping Emaway
Verse 2:
EmWait just a little bit more I'm watching as your lips are moving towards that horn
You're ready but I'm not quite dead and I'm not quite yours
So wait just a little bit more
Take what you came here for I'm ready for you flames crawling up my door
And if you give me just a minute I'll be out on the floor
You're taking what you came here for
Chorus: 
EmSo this is how I'm slipping away
EmYea this is how you want me to play
AYou know I love it but it's stopping today I'm slippiEmng away
EmOh I think that I should go
My house is burning out of control 
AI know you hate it and you want me to stay I'm slEmipping away
Verse 3: 
EmWait just a little bit more
You hold me like I've never been held before
Your spider web is wrapping around my head like a big black hole
So wait just a little bit more
Take what you came here for I trusted and I promised to believe, I swore
That you would be the first and the last but I did not know
You take me but you'll take no more
Chorus: 
EmSo this is how I'm slipping away
EmNow this is how you want me to play
AYou know I love it but it's stopping todEmay I'm slipping away
EmOh I think that I should go
EmMy house is burning out of control 
AI know you hate it and you want me to stay I'm Emslipping away

Verse 1

Wait just a little bit more

I feel you cause your breath is burning holes in my door

You love it when there's blood on your tongue and you're ready for war

But wait just a little bit more

Take what you came here for

I know you and I know you can't take anymore

You got me with your fingers on my throat and my head on the floor

You're taking what you came here for

Chorus:

So this is how I'm slipping away

Yea this is how you want me to play

You know I love it but it's stopping today

I'm slipping away

Oh I think that I should go

My house is burning out of control

I know you hate it and you want me to stay

I'm slipping away

Verse 2:

Wait just a little bit more I'm watching as your lips are moving towards that horn

You're ready but I'm not quite dead and I'm not quite yours

So wait just a little bit more

Take what you came here for I'm ready for you flames crawling up my door

And if you give me just a minute I'll be out on the floor

You're taking what you came here for

So this is how I'm slipping away

Yea this is how you want me to play

That you would be the first and the last but I did not know

You take me but you'll take no more
