Fade

Intro
G               G/F#   G/E G/D 

 
G               G/F#   G/E G/D 
I dissolve like ink in water 
G                  G/F#   G/E G/D 
each day thinning, washing pale 
G                   G/F#   G/E G/D 
the mirror turns a strangers face 
G    G/F#     G/E   G/D 
eyes flicker, hazy, like 
C#dim      C 
frost on a window 
C#dim         C             C#dim     C 
fading in the slow decay of dusk 
 

 
G             G/F#   G/E G/D 
I have folded myself small 
G                G/F#   G/E G/D 
tucked in corners no one sweeps 
G                G/F#      G/E G/D 
a ghost among fingerprints and dust 
G             G/F#     G/E   G/D 
A phone dings somewhere in another 
C#dim            C 
roomfor someone else 
C#dim            C 
not for me, never me 
 

Interlude 
G               G/F#   G/E G/D 
G               G/F#   G/E G/D 

 
G               G/F#   G/E G/D 
What is the point of breath 
G               G/F#   G/E G/D 
this dragging in of air 
G    G/F#     G/E   G/D 
slow leak of hours like 
C#dim                      C 
poison through veins? Im going insane, 
C#dim               C 
unhooking piece by piecefingernails, 
C#dim              C 
teeth, words I no longer need, 
  C#dim                   C 
the clock is a liar tells me theres still time, 
C#dim          C 
but I know better. 
    C#dim                    C 
The night has crept inside of my bones 
         C#dim               C 
it's cold fingers clasp my wrists 
    C#dim                        C 
and I wait, still as stone,for earth to open up 
C#dim         Cmaj7 
and swallow me whole.

G               G/F#   G/E G/D 
a ghost among fingerprints and dust 
G             G/F#     G/E   G/D 
A phone dings somewhere in another 
C#dim             C 
room, for someone else, not for 
C#dim            C 
me
