lyrics

Let it slide
by Adam H.

Tune down half step

A Bm Fm D
I would not lie, cause you might not forget it
You walk on by, cause you don’t think you need it
Why would you leave, if you’ve already got it?
Take what you want, but you might not let it go

Bb D
Why would you settle for the rest?
This is not about temptation, maybe what you want is next
What you’re holding in your hand is only nothing but the best
And it’s just the god-damned sinners stuck with cleaning up this mess
A Bm Fm D
But we could let it slide…

Raise up your eyes, take a look where we’re going
These ain’t no dreams, just a taste of the knowing
Up through the trees is a light ever-showing
Stay, there’s some time, we can stop along this road

Take back your lifetime guarantee
You have walked away unbroken, do not spend it on your knees
You can talk away the hours, you can sit and throw the dice
You might always be a coward, but at least you’re very nice
You always let it slide…

Try once again, make a choice then forget it
Ride with the wind, it’s a chance but you take it
Write when you can, but some days you quit it
Move on ahead, you can feel it when you know

When will you forget how to feel
Like you’ve talked your way into another raw end of a deal
Just like everything they took from you was what you had to steal
And the lies were nothing more than everything you thought was real
Now can you let it slide?

I heard your name in a verse they were singing
All in one voice, in a melody ringing
Turn and you’ll find what the day is a-bringing
Work with your time, now but don’t you use it up

They say that the end is very near
Still you’re waiting for some answers, but they’re never very clear
Try to wash away your troubles with a lifetime full of tears
Yeah, you say that you want forgiveness, well there’s no more left in here
But we can let it slide
