Billy Joel – State Of Grace (Guitar)

A
There you go

E                    F
Slipping away into a state of grace

Dm                         Bb
I know the look that comes across your face

E                   A
It's so familiar to me

A
Here I am

E                        F
Trying to keep you in my line of sight

Dm                         Bb
I'm never certain that you read me right

E                           A
Sometimes you don't want to see

F#m
Here we are

E                        F#m
Both of us know we're in love

E                      F#m
But that isn't always enough

E                  Bm            E
I never could rise above it all, down I fall

            A
But darling there you go

E                    F
Slipping away into a state of grace

Dm                           Bb
Granted, this world is not a perfect place

E                             A
Still it's the world that I'm in

A
Here I am

E                              F
Talking while you don't hear a word I say

Dm                              Bb
Knowing you're watching me from far away

E                          A
Somewhere that I've never been

E
Don't you see

Gm                    F#m
You lived a different life than me

Fm                A          E
It don't mean you have to be afraid of how

Bm                  E
We're not the same, don't leave me now

            A
But darling there you go

E             F Dm Bb Dm E A
Slipping away

F#m
How can I

E                         F#m
Get you to stay where you are?

E                       F#m
Keep you from going too far

E                      Bm          E
Holding you here is so hard to do, I'm losing you

            A
And darling there you go

E                    F
Slipping away into a state of grace

Dm                           Bb
Drifting away into your sacred place

E                         A
Someplace that I've never been

A
There you go

E          F
Slipping away

Dm            E                A
Slipping away into a state of grace

A
There you go

E          F  E               A
Slipping away into a state of grace

Dm              Bb  E                 A
Yeah, drifting away into that sacred place
