Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Potential,  well, you're a loaded line
The  veil between the world and the faceless bride
There's  nothing yet but a bunch of white
Oh  potential, well, you're a loaded line
Tomorrow,  well, I will wait for you
Laying  right here floating in this swimming pool
There's  a lot of things I've got left to do
Oh  tomorrow, but I'll wait for you
The  days keep slipping down into the cracks
It  takes a while to realize where you're at
Slowly  (so  slowly)
Slowly  (so  slowly)
Slowly,  it's slowly ending
Dementia,  you better treat me good
The  human race is in its second childhood
I  never learn but I understood
Oh  dementia, you better treat me good
Sometimes  I need a place to go
Classical  music plays from the radio
I  sit real still, let my shadow grow
Yeah,  sometimes I need a place to go
My  mind keeps slipping back into the past
I  hope someday I can get it back
Slowly  (so  slowly)
Slowly  (so  slowly)
Slowly,  they're slowly ending
 So slowly
Slowly  (so  slowly)
Slowly, slowly
 It's slowly ending
And  soon that train is going to pull away
 I hear it whistling, I  try to wave at a glowing face
They  can't tell who I am
Slowly  (so  slowly)
Slowly  (so  slowly)
Slowly,  it's slowly ending
