Time Slips Away

G D G D Em7 C G D I got back into town after seven years on the road Em7 C And I walked under the bridge where we first met so long ago G D On those summer nights we planned, bonfires in the sand Em7 C D And we'd sing and dance for hours, then I'd walk you home G D And we'd take our time, go slow, 'cause we didn't have far to go Em7 C And the moon lit up the path that lead us to your door G Last night I went to see if you were home D Just your mother talking on the phone Em7 C D To her little girl who moved away and hasn't come back home N.C. C Oh, the time D Em7 Oh, the time slips away C Am7 G D And it leaves you feeling down C But as the time D Em7 As the time slips away C G Am7 Those memories of the past seem to stay G C G C Those memories stay G D Sometimes I'd go down to the general store Em7 C Where I'd cash my week's pay, but it's not there anymore G D They had to shut her down, after the new one came to town Em7 C D Nothing but a tired wooden floor and a dust-beam shining through the door N.C. C Oh, the time D Em7 Oh, the time slips away C Am7 G D And it leaves you feeling down C But as the time D Em7 As the time slips away C G Am7 Those memories of the past seem to stay G C G C G C Em7 Those memories stay D Why don't you come back home? G C We'll go walking on the beach all alone G C And we'll take our time, go slow G C 'Cause we won't have far to go N.C. C Oh, the time D Em7 Oh, the time slips away C Am7 G D And it leaves you feeling down C But as the time D Em7 As the time slips away C G Am7 Those memories of the past seem to stay G C Those memories stay G C Oh, those memories stay G C We'll go walking on the beach all alone G C We'll go walking on the beach
