Slippery Pearls
Charlie Peacock
Words and music by Charlie Peacock
© 1995 Andi Beat Goes On Music, Inc. (ASCAP)



Bb6 Eb6 Bb Eb6 Bb6 Eb6 Bb
Bb Eb Fsus
What you hold back from the minute, the minute will lack
Bb Eb Bb
If you don't claim it from the hour then the hour takes it back
Gm7 Eb Bb
All our wants will pass quickly, what remains is our need
Eb6 Bb
And mama don't make no medicine that'll cure that disease



Bb Eb Bb
Nothing is certain here in this world
Gm7 Eb Bb
You drop all your treasures just like slippery pearls
Gm7 Eb Bb
Oh, it's hard to find a handle on the things that you see
Eb Bb
Cause they slide right through your fingers just like slippery pearls



What you don't lock up inside your heart the world will consume
It might slip right down the throat of greed
Or through the floorboards in your room
There's two thieves named pain and pleasure and neither one is true
You ransom your flesh to save your bones
Then they come and take those too






They don't make a map to guide you through the badlands of the soul
You could lose yourself to blind conceit or to the hunger for control
Try to guard it all from the elements and it's still gonna fall apart
Cause the world outside don't pose no threat
Like the darkness in our hearts



repeat CHORUS ad lib and fade
