Faded Away

  Am                   G 
I don't remember much about that time, 
         D 
Just the smell of the air and your hand in mine. 
Am                           G 
   Riding the strip, sittin' on my lap 
       D 
In the back of the truck with the only friends I had. 
       Am                    G 
It was spring break, we were out late, 
    D 
And I though goodness for heavens sake. 
       C 
When I saw you... 
           D 
And then I kissed you... 


C              G 
  On a balcony over the sun 
     D                        Em 
In a chair by the rail, high above everyone 
C                     G 
  We made love as the waves rolled in 
       D 
And we owned that town for one weekend. 
         C                   G 
Like the tan on my skin, our names in the sand 
         D 
Like the sound of the boat 
                                Am 
Starting up, heading out of the bay 
        C                Am  G     D 
Girl you... faded away. 

  Am                            G 
I still taste the shots on your lips that night, 
        D 
And the smoke from the club still burns my eyes 

Am                       G 
 Feel of your body takin' off your dress, 
       D 
Waking up that morning in a tangled mess. 
      Am               G 
So if I'da known, I'da held on... 
  D                                              C 
A little bit longer and stronger with nothing to lose, 
              D 
Cause I still see you... 



C              G 
  On a balcony over the sun 
     D                        Em 
In a chair by the rail, high above everyone 
C                     G 
  We made love as the waves rolled in 
       D 
And we owned that town for one weekend. 
         C                   G 
Like the tan on my skin, our names in the sand 
         D 
Like the sound of the boat 
                                Am 
Starting up, heading out of the bay 
        C 
Girl you... faded away. 




C              G 
  On a balcony over the sun 
     D                        Em 
In a chair by the rail, high above everyone 
C               G 
  I watched you drive through the gate 
        D 
Without saying the words I needed to say. 
         C                   G 
Like the tan on my skin, our names in the sand 
         D 
Like the tears on your face 
                            Am 
And the sun going down that day 
        C             Am  G      D 
Girl you... faded away. 
              Am   G      D 
You faded away.
