Slip, Trip, Stumble and Fall

D           C            G

I had it easy, or so I've been told:

D                         C               G

good luck and fortune to have and to hold;

D                    C                G

Plenty good lovin' and good-timin' friends

F                                                      A7

Who swore they'd back me up until the end

 

D                C           G

But all too easy, it slipped right away;

D              C                        G

No more tomorrow, and not much today.

D                             C                           G

Dreams turned to nightmares, and sunshine to rain;

F                                                A7

And how it hurts me now to have to explain.

 

                            C            G                   D

Sometimes you slip, trip, stumble and fall;

C                  G                                D

Leavin' you no chance to make sense of it all.

C               G                           D

Without a warning, you get that wakeup call

                C //       G //                D

And you slip, trip, stumble and fall.

 

Some kinds of trouble you just can't outrun;

bad situations when you're under the gun.

Sometimes a sure thing is riddled with doubt;

no big surprise when the whole bottom drops out

 

G                                    D

No sense to argue, no reason to cry

G                                     D

No point in sittin' there wonderin' why

G                                                D

It's bound to happen to you, just wait and see

G                           A7

Sooner or later, eventually

 

Sometimes you slip, trip, stumble and fall;

Leavin' you no chance to make sense of it all.

Without a warning, you get that wakeup call

And you slip, trip, stumble and fall.

Cheap hotel, out on the turnpike
between come and gone;
far too late for sleeping,
far too early to be getting on.

Who can tell? Sometimes the line
between what's right and wrong
fades into nothing
like an old fashioned country song.

You and me? It's hard to figure out
the bottom line;
too much time together,
not enough of it was very fine.

Some say love heals every wound,
and some say love is blind;
When it's gone,
it doesn't leave too much behind.

What we had is over,
and it really doesn't matter whose to blame.
Really makes no difference,
win or lose, you end with nothing just the same.

Cheap hotel, out on the turnpike
just a mile or so;
far enough to say I'm leaving,
close enough to nowhere else to go.
