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     D 
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    D 
Maybe today, yeah 

               
I'll slip away 
     G          Am    Bm   Dm A9   (2x) 

                  G          Am    Bm   Dm A9 
Cause you've been down on me for too long 
                G          Am    Bm   Dm A9 
And for too long I just put you on 
                G          Am    Bm   Dm A9 
Now I'm tired of lying and I'm sick of trying 
                G         Am    Bm   Dm A9 
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         D 
Maybe today, yeah 
                 G          Am    Bm   Dm A9 
I'll slip away 
      Am7     
Maybe today, yeah 
                 G         Am    Bm   Dm A9 
I'll slip away
