E                         B7 
I shoulda learned better, old enough to know 
A            B7               E   B7 
Slippin' and slidin', feelin' low 
            E                B7 
Yeah it's a setback at best, a shameful show, baby

Now I'm wakin' up feelin' bad again

I'm losin' patience with my only friend 
A        B7           E              C#7 
Why do I try my luck, I should never touch this stuff 
       A 
But it shouldn't make any difference anymore, 
   B7 
As long as I keep up appearances, Lord 


          E                   B7 
I've been working too hard, I need some time at home, baby

Slippin' and slidin', feelin' low

A                B7              E     C#m  E7 
I ain't seen the sunrise since I don't know when, baby 
A            B7      E              C#7 
Days gettin' longer, nights gettin' cold 
A            B7               Ab7 
Slippin' and slidin', feelin' low, mama
