Intro: G D C
G D C
Twisting and grasping and I cannot find her
G D C
First it was her body last night was her web
G D C
Glistening gossamer stretched from my pillow where I'd laid my head
G D C
Now I stretch my mind trying to find what she said
Am C
I wake and it's all faded away
Am C
And in the daytime I'm left
G D C
To figure it out on my own
G D C
Someone tried to teach me to never say never
G D C
It's so funny I never saw that one again
G D C
I'm sure they're still somewhere deep down in the dirt in the back of my head
G D C
They just never call me it's not like they're dead
G D C
You can love someone and just not stay friends
Am C
Wake one day to find they've faded away
Am C
And in the daytime I know I've
G D C
Faded plenty on my own
G D C
And you used to tell me how you'd live forever
G D C
It's ok that's not what you tell me anymore
G D C
I used to imagine that you'd disappear while I became a crone
G D C
Either way I'd lose track of your flesh and your bone
G D C
I'd try not to be scared as I walked on alone
Am C
Wake one day to find you've faded away
Am
And in the daytime I know
C G D C
I've learned how to walk on my own
Am C
I wake and it's all faded away
Am
And in the daytime I know
C G D C
I've woven a web of my own
