I'm fading

[Intro:]G - D - Em - C G - D - Em - C G D - Em C 1. It's K-Mart, the bathroom, I'm staring in the mirror, G D Em C the green lights are bright, it makes the lines clearer. G D - Em C Where did the angels go, cigarette smoke's all that's left, G D I've traded my wings in for a string of pearls, Em C - G - D - Em - C and now the string is all I've le...........ft. G D - Em C 2. The light bulbs burn so much, someone's in the stall, G - D Em C big white brick wall, makes me feel small. - G D Em C And I I take my shirt off, looking for a glimpse of flesh, G D Em C I peel back the concrete, I hope there's still some soil left. G D Em C 'Cause I am fading, I am fading, I am fading away. G D Em C I am fading, just like fairy tales, when the hero loses faith. ~ I am fading. G D - Em C 3. The air smells like urine, it's getting hard to breeze, G D Em C I could walk out that door, but no one ever really leaves. - G D Em C And I I take all my clothing off, trying not to forget, - G D oh, stupid things like the color of rain, Em C and the smell of stone when it's wet. C Em Bb A And I am naked in the mirror with a feather in my hand, C Em the lady comes out of the bathroom, Bb screaming, "Oh, Jesus!" Like I was a man. A G And I ask her "Hey, what happens to us, Em C when we get old and in the way?" G D - Em C I guess she answered me, 'cos they, they took me away. G D Em C And I am fading, I am fading, I am fading away. G D Em C I am fading, just like fairy tales, when the hero loses faith. G D And I can't remember, why or when, Em C I hope that I'll remember again. G - D - Em - C G - D - Em - C And I am fa......ding. And I'm fa......ding.
