Fade Away

	  		 
              Bm   D   A   G 
I won't fade away 

Bm 
   Like a flame burnt out 
           D 
You're a shadow of yourself 
    A 
A memory blacked out 
Bm 
   The bridge has been burned down 
           D 
Less is learned in time 
          A 
When you fade to the background 
Bm 
   Will you take my hand? 
         D 
We will walk this road 
         A 
We can change the map 
Bm 
   I won't fade away 
   D 
I know you've been hurt 
             A 
But I will swear to stay 

G 
   I can be your strength 
A 
   To find your way back home 

Bm               D 
   I won't fade away 
          A 
Like the ones before 
G 
   I won't let you down 
Bm                         D 
   We'll leave them miles away 
              A 
I know your heart's been torn 
G 
   I won't let you down 
Bm                   D 
   However long it takes 
A       G 
I will, I will never break 
Bm                   D 
   Whatever path we take 
A        G 
I won't, I won't fade away 

Bm   D   A   G 

Bm 
   Like a thought recalled 
       D 
Picked up when we fall 
      A 
Held fast through it all 
Bm 
   All these wars with you 
            D 
Learned to make it through 
               A 
You know our hearts are true 
Bm 
   Now don't look to the past 
             D 
Leave the thoughts you had 
                  A 
Those words and things you've planned 
Bm 
   We won't fade again 
       D 
We're all broken 
              A 
We'll make it in the end 

G 
   I can be your strength 
A 
   To find your way back home 

Bm               D 
   I won't fade away 
          A 
Like the ones before 
G 
   I won't let you down 
Bm                         D 
   We'll leave them miles away 
              A 
I know your heart's been torn 
G 
   I won't let you down 
Bm                   D 
   However long it takes 
A       G 
I will, I will never break 
Bm                   D 
   Whatever path we take 
A        G 
I won't, I won't fade away 

Bm       D 
    Rise higher 
      A 
Your mind is an echo 
      G 
Your mind is an echo 
Bm        D 
    Shine brighter 
     A 
Get out of the shadows 
     G 
Get out of the shadows 
G           A          Bm 
   I won't fade away 


Bm               D 
   I won't fade away 
          A 
Like the ones before 
G 
   I won't let you down 
Bm                         D 
   We'll leave them miles away 
              A 
I know your heart's been torn 
G 
   I won't let you down 
Bm                   D 
   However long it takes 
A       G 
I will, I will never break 
Bm                   D 
   Whatever path we take 
A        G 
I won't, I won't fade away 

Bm   D   A   G 
             I won't fade away 

Bm   D   A   G 
             I won't fade away!
