GMonday's promise  Cis Tuesday's Glie 
Saturday's party  D7is Sunday's Gfight
Something's wrong  Cwith you and GI 
Love's gone wrong  that D7used to be Gright
And I can feel it  Cslipping Gaway
Slowly slowly slipping away
It'll be Cgone in a few more Gdays 
If we don't stop this D7love of ours from slipping Gaway
Wednesday's kisses are TChursday's fGrowns
We can't live  D7two days in a Grow
When our world's  Cnot upside Gdown
Here we stand  D7watching it Ggo
And I can feel it  Cslipping Gaway
Slowly slowly slipping away
It'll be Cgone in a few more Gdays 
If we don't stop this D7love of ours from slipping Gaway
Roses are red  Cviolets are Gblue 
Sugar is sweet  D7some of the Gtime
This puzzle's missing  Ca piece or Gtwo
We've got the grapes  D7but never the Gwine
And I can feel it  Cslipping Gaway
Slowly slowly slipping away
It'll be Cgone in a few more Gdays
If we don't stop this D7love of ours from slipping Gaway
