G C Am G
G
When you're too old for the swings
C
You tend to choose the slide
Am 
And they never seem to warn you
G 
The slide's your final ride
G 
And when you're at the top of it
C 
And you cannot see the end
Am                         G
Either don't let go son or grab the nearest friend
G                           C 
The slide is no respecter of dignity or class
Am 
As soon as you sit down on it
G 
That slide has got your ass
                             
G                                    C
Don't take the slide, don't take the slide
(Slide, slide)
Am                                 G
Heroes and villains have tried and cried
G                                 C 
A broken soul at the bottom lies denied
(Slide, slide)
               Am                    G                   
Don't take the slide, don't take the slide
