[Intro]
B Abm E Abm E Abm E
[Verse 1]
AbmHeartsick, beaten up, Ecan't deny
The Abmwhispers Brunning through my Ehead tonight
AbmPunch, drunk Bmemories, Epull the line, I'll find time
AbmEnd your suBffering, Etell you everything
EI'll always see your face when I am drDbmeamingGb  
ECouldn't pull my weight, he'll take my place
 N.C.
And I will be broken
[Chorus]
EYou're slip, slipping awBay from me
AbmAnd sick, sick of the Bapathy
EI'm just short of the Bthings you need
AbmThe one waking you fBrom your dreams
FoErever standing Bin the way
We're tAbmorn apart and IB'm to blame
EYou're slip, slipping, you're thDbmrough with wishing
AbmAnd sick, sick of the aBpathy
(DbmSlip, slipping away from me)
[Verse 2]
Wide Eawake, think it's time that, wGbe step away for a Abmwhile
I'm to blEame, I never learned a thGbing from my mistAbmakes
BI'll mAbmiss your eyes in the sun
And the way you'd smGbile at me when I was half asleep
AbmLet it slip aBway, I let it slAbmip awBay
[Chorus]
You're Eslip, slipping aBway from me
And Abmsick, sick of the aBpathy
EI'm just short of the Bthings you need
AbmThe one waking you fBrom your dreams
ForEever standing Bin the way
We're Abmtorn apart and BI'm to blame
You're Eslip, slipping, you're Dbmthrough with wishing
And Abmsick, sick of the Bapathy
(Slip, slipping away from me)
[Bridge]
I am Abmnothing, I will nGbever be
AbmI'm a nightmare living Bin your dream
GbWakes you Abmup from a dead sleep
Wish GbI was Abmstill Byours, Gbbut I'll never be
[Chorus]
You're Eslip, slipping aBway from me
And Abmsick, sick of the Bapathy
I'm Ejust short of the Bthings you need
AbmThe one waking you fBrom your dreams
ForEever standing Bin the way
We're Abmtorn apart and BI'm to blame
You're Eslip, slipping, you're tDbmhrough with wishing
And Abmsick, sick of the Bapathy
[Outro]
I am nEothing, I will Bnever be
I'm a Abmnightmare living in your Bdream
Wakes you up from a Edead sleep
Wish BI was still Abmyours, Bbut I'll never be
