D           D/G 
One day you have it all 
    Gm7M                       D 
The next you've thrown it all away 
         Bm      F#7 
And you cry all night 
          C              G 
Wondering how you let it go 
                  D                  E7 
And it's so like sand through your fingertips 
          Gm           C       D  
Ain't it funny how it slips away 
D             D/G 
You and your lonely life 
Gm7M                    D   
Believing it'll all work out 
        Bm           F#7              C             G  
And you know you're right, still the memory lingers on 
                    D              E7  
Don't you know that I would go to pieces yeah 
         Gm           C         D 
Ain't it funny how it slips away 
          Gm           C      Ab7M      Bb7M      C 
Ain't it funny how it slips, funny how it slips away 
      Am         F               Ab7M 
I've heard that nothing lasts forever now 
  C7M    Am 
I know, I know 
          F                     Ab7M         Bb 
When you love someone you could never let it slip 
Bb            C     D 
Never let it slip away 
                 D                  E7 
And it's so like sand through your fingertips 
          Gm           C       D  
Ain't it funny how it slips away 
          Gm           C       D  
Ain't it funny how it slips away 
          Gm           C       D  
Oh yeah, funny how it slips away 
          Gm           C       D  
Oh yeah, funny how it slips away
