Here are some ideas i'd like to share with you and your sight reading problems: 1. You said every time you want to play it smoothly and fast you can't do it well you'll want to slow the song down a little bit to help you cause if you go to fast you'll never get the hang of it so try slowing down just a little bit.

 2. Now this has helped me a lot you should study the song notes before you play that can help to because your memorizing them as you go do this a few times and then try the song.

 I have a Question whats the timing on your song your playing that could make a huge difference I have a few Ideas about that so let me know what your timing is and I give you some of my Ideas
