Fading Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][Em][C][G]

[Verse 1]
It's [G]Walmart,
[D]the bathroom[Em]
I'm staring in the [C]mirror[G]
Flores[D]cent lights are bright
It [Em]makes [Am]the lines [C]cle[G]arer
Where did the [D]Angel go?
[Em]Cigarette smoke's all that's [C]left
[G]I've traded my wings in for a
[D]string of pearls
[Em]And a string is all I've left

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][D][Em][C][G]

[Verse 2]
The lighbulb[D]s burn[Em]
Someone's in the [C]stall[G]
Big [D]whites, brick wall
[Em]Makes me feel [C]small
And [D]I t[G]ake my shir[D]t off
[Em]Looking for a glimpse of [C]flesh[G]
Peel back [D]the concrete
Hope there's [Em]something
that true [C]left

[Verse 3]
'Cause I am [G]fading
I [D]am fading
I [Em]am fading aw[C]ay
I am [G]fading just [D]like fairytales
And a [Em]hero loses [C]faith

[Verse 4]
I am fading
[G]
The air smells like [D]urine[Em]
It's gettin' hard to [C]breathe[G]
I could walk out that [D]door
But [Em]no one ever really l[C]eaves
And [D]I t[G]ake my c[D]lothing off[Em]
[D]Try[Em]ing not to forget
[C]Stu[G]pid things like the[D] color
of rain
[Em]And the smell of stone when it's [C]wet
[Em]I am[C]

[Verse 5]
[G]fading
I am [D]fading
[Em]I am fading aw[C]ay
I am [G]fading just [D]like fairytales
And a [Em]hero loses [C]faith
[D]And I am

[Verse 6]
[C]naked in the [G]mirror
With [Gm]a feather in my [D]hand
A [C]lady comes out of the
bath[G]room screaming
"Oh Je[Bb]sus!"
She couldn't under[D]stand
But I ask her[G], "Hey,
[D]what happens to [Em]us when we get old a[C]nd in the wa[G]y?"
I guess she [D]answered me
Cause [Em]they, they took me [C]away

[Verse 7]
And I am [G]fading
I [D]am fading
[Em]I am fading aw[C]ay
I am [G]fading just [D]like fairytales
And a [Em]hero loses [C]faith[D]
[C]And I don't

[Verse 8]
[G]know how
And I [D]don't know when
Don't know [Em]when I forgot
Hope I'll re[C]member again
I [G]am [D]fad[Em]ing [C]away
I am fading
