Transcribed by Steve Saint-Coeur

Intro                 Am7                                    D

                 Am7                                    D

And I'll forget about the girl that said no

              Am7                                   D

Then I'll tell who I want where to go

                  Am7                                   D

And I'll forget about your lies and deceit

                   Am7                        D

And your attempts to be so discreet

                Am7     DmAdd9

Maybe today, yeah

              G

I'll slip away…..

                      Am7                                D

And you can keep your symbols of success

                    Am7                       D

Then I'll pursue my own happiness

                      Am7                                D

And you can keep your clocks and routines

               Am7                                   D    

Then I'll go mend all my shattered dreams

                Am7    DmAdd9

Maybe today, yeah

I'll slip away

     G          Am    Bm   DmAdd9        (X2)

                                G          Am    Bm   DmAdd9

Cause you've been down on me for too long

                G          Am    Bm   DmAdd9

And for too long I just put you on

                G          Am    Bm   DmAdd9

Now I'm tired of lying and I'm sick of trying

                G         Am    Bm   DmAdd9

Cause I'm losing who I really am

                G         Am          G

And I'm not choosing to be like them

                      Am7                                D

And if you get bored and you got loneliness

                      Am7                                D

Or it's dislike for me you express

                      Am7                                D

I won't care if you're right or you're wrong

                      Am7                                D

I won't care cause you see I'll be gone

           Am7         DmAdd9

Maybe today, yeah

                 G          Am    Bm   DmAdd9

I'll slip away

           Am7         DAdd9

Maybe today, yeah

                 G         Am    Bm   DmAdd9

I'll slip away
