Fade Away

Capo 1
 
[Verse 1]
E             Bm
Standing on a wire
     A
Horizon shifting, wind is swiftly
E                 Bm
Pulling towards a fire
A
Growing faster, this disaster is
E                   Bm
Made from swallowed words
A
Meant to heal, but even still they
E                 D       A
Birthed this massacre of hope.
 
[Chorus 1]
G
Breathe in
         A
Let the smoking guns fill into your lungs
G
Breathe out
         A
Send it back unchanged until it starts to fade
 
E      G    A
Away
 
E Bm  A
Fade Away
 
E  Bm  A
 
[Verse 2]
E              Bm
Running out of time
     A
The traps we touch, are putting us much
E                Bm
Further down the line
       A
From another day of facing down our-
E                  Bm
Selves. It seems unclear
        A
Beating up our faces in this mirror maze that
E                  D                A
Keeps the treasure just out of our reach.
 
[Chorus 2]
G
Slow down
         A
There’s another path, one not laid with glass
G
Go now
          A
From this resting place until it starts to fade
E      G     A
Away
E Bm  A
Fade Away
 
[Solo]
E  D  A
E  D  A
E  D  A
E  D  A
 
   E                 Bm
So let yourself move on
A                              E   D   A
From this place until it fades away
      E  D  A
Fades away
 
[Ending Solo]
E  D  A
(until end)
