Fading Away

	  		



Intro: Am  

verse 1:                              

I was at the breakwall, I was looking at the sea  
   D                      Am 
In back of an eight ball, in some misery  

There on the horizon stood a mighty ship of fools  
          D                            Am 
They were headed into the harbour with all their broken rules 


 
                     C             D                Am 
Whenever I'm feeling lonely, I can just pick up the phone  
                   C              D             Am 
Or I can go to the movies or just stay at home alone  
                         C                  D                  Am    D 
They're better off to be someplace that's a good long way from home 
                            C 
Anyway I can't lose myself 
                         D                A   G  
The dawn is breaking, I'm hesitating, I'm  
D       A     G 
Fading away 
D       A    G  D  A 
fading away  



verse 2:                              
     Am 
They sailed right up to meet me, I said, "What's it all about 
       D                 Am 
Please try to excuse me, we can work things out 

If you've ever wondered, if that mighty ship is real  
       D                                Am 
Let me tell ya 'bout it brother, it was something you could feel" 



                     C             D                Am 
Whenever I'm feeling lonely, I let twilight set the tone  
                   C              D             Am 
Or I can go to the movies or just stay at home alone  
                         C                  D                Am  
They're better off to be someplace that's a good long way to roam  
D                                        C 
Ain't living high on the hog right now  
                         D                A   G  
The dawn is breaking, I'm hesitating, I'm  
D       A     G 
Fading away 
D       A    G  D 
fading away  



verse 3:                              
         Am 
One more day on the calendar in my mind  
     D                         Am 
I am down around the breakwall putting in some time  

The whole ship of fools has gotten safely under way  
          D                             Am 
And I was proud to be a part of what it was they had to say 

 
                     C             D                Am 
Whenever I'm feeling lonely, I can just pick up the phone  
                   C              D             Am 
Or I can go to the movies or just stay at home alone  
                         C                  D                  Am    D 
They're better off to be someplace that's a good long way from home 
                            C 
Anyway I can't lose myself 
                         D                A   G  
The dawn is breaking, I'm hesitating, I'm  
D       A     G 
Fading away 
D       A    G  D  A 
fading away  
D       A    G  D  A 
fading away  
D       A    G  D 
fading away
