[Verso 1]
 
D 
Aching, breaking, shiver shaking, desperate to survive 
D 
Tortured, tearing, backward sliding more dead than alive 
      D 
There comes a time when you're so blind to those who hold your dear 
      D 
Their love is strong you're so far gone you don't see their tears 
             A 
You're going down 
D 
Lifetime learning, question burning, does anybody know? 
D 
Heartache yearning, my soul preparing 'til it's time to go 
    D 
You look at me you never see the pain I'm going through 
D 
Nightmare dreams are silent screams as I reach out to you 
          A 
I'm going down

D 
When did it happen 
                               A 
When did you feel me slipping away 
D 
When did it happen 
                               A 
When did you feel me slipping away 
            E  F# G A D 
Ah slippin away 
 


[Verso 2]
 
D 
Teenage queens in magazines say it's all right to sleaze 
D 
Dull vacant eyes and shapeless thigts, you gotta thin to please 
D 
Poppin those pills drinking your fill won't bring you happy hour 
     D                                                            A 
Then you're alone and no one's home when all that shit turns sour

D 
When did it happen 
                               A 
When did you feel me slipping away 
            E  F# G A 
Ah slippin away
