Fading On Me

Intro: 
F  Dm   C F 
Dm   C F 


 
                         F 
When I was young, I knew everything 
                               Dm 
And I always knew that I was a fool 
                          F 
She was a perfect page of poetry 
                           Dm 
Standing right there in my living room 
        Bb            F    C 
Oh, but that's such a long time 
    Dm     Bb      F  C 
Bad scenes play in my mind 
      Dm Bb           F                   A 
While I  dream of how you once held on to me, yeah 
 

 
Dm   Bb      F    C 
Stop fading, stop fading on me 
Dm   Bb      F    C 
Stop fading, stop fading on me 
     Dm                Bb                   F 
It's getting dark, and throwing sparks, and I'm already on my knees 
Dm   Bb      F           C 
Stop fading, stop fading on me 
 

Interlude: 
Dm    C F   C Dm   F 


 
                       F 
How could I ever stand next to you 
               C               Dm 
Looking like a wolfman on your arm? 
                                   F 
I've always been a little bit of a lunatic 
                         Dm 
Oh, maybe that's part of the charm 
            Bb       F     C 
Oh, but how slow the night goes 
   Dm           Bb    F   C 
In dreams where I'm a low ghost 
    Dm  Bb              F          C       A 
And you smile with your brown skin in the sun 
 

 
    Dm   Bb      F    C 
And stop fading, stop fading on me 
Dm   Bb      F    C 
Stop fading, stop fading on me 
       Dm          Bb                 F                C 
Either cure me, or kill me, but don't leave me here to bleed, baby 
Dm   Bb           F    C          Bb  C 
Stop fading, now, stop fading on me 
 

 
Dm                     C 
 Now I can't conjure a smile 
Dm                        Bb 
 And it hurts too much to breathe 
Dm                 C 
 And I hear you in the wind 
Dm                          Bb 
 Blowing softly through the trees 
             F                        Bb 
Ah, like the, like the spirits in the summertime, baby 
F     Bb 
 All around me 
    F                             Bb 
Ah, yeah, like the spirits in the summertime 
        F         Bb 
Dancing, dancing around me 
 

 
     Dm   Bb      F    C 
Now, stop fading, stop fading on me 
Dm   Bb      F    C 
Stop fading, stop fading on me 
Dm          Bb                 F                C 
Cure me, or kill me, but don't leave me here to bleed 
     Dm   Bb      F    C 
Now, stop fading, stop fading on me
