D           D/G
One day you have it all
    Gm7M                       D
The next you've thrown it all away
         Bm      F#7
And you cry all night
          C              G
Wondering how you let it go
                  D                  E7
And it's so like sand through your fingertips
          Gm           C       D 
Ain't it funny how it slips away
D             D/G
You and your lonely life
Gm7M                    D  
Believing it'll all work out
        Bm           F#7              C             G 
And you know you're right, still the memory lingers on
                    D              E7 
Don't you know that I would go to pieces yeah
         Gm           C         D
Ain't it funny how it slips away
          Gm           C      Ab7M      Bb7M      C
Ain't it funny how it slips, funny how it slips away
      Am         F               Ab7M
I've heard that nothing lasts forever now
  C7M    Am
I know, I know
          F                     Ab7M         Bb
When you love someone you could never let it slip
Bb            C     D
Never let it slip away
                 D                  E7
And it's so like sand through your fingertips
          Gm           C       D 
Ain't it funny how it slips away
          Gm           C       D 
Ain't it funny how it slips away
          Gm           C       D 
Oh yeah, funny how it slips away
          Gm           C       D 
Oh yeah, funny how it slips away
