Fade Away
guitar chords lyrics
It's easier to play this song 1 full step down so those will be the chords I use but
I'll also list the ones you would use in standard tuning at the bottom.
[Verse 1]
G F
If I died today, I wonder what you'd say
C Am
Would you criticize my life, or smile and wave goodbye?
G F
If I died today, would you be afraid?
C Am
Would you be thankful for our time, or would you hang your head and cry?
Em D G
Cuz girl I know it could go either way
[Chorus]
G F
Baby Baby don't you love me?
C Am
All your tears wont change your past
Em D G
They'll only drown the smiles on your face
G F C Am
And maybe Baby all that we had, was never ever meant to last
Em D G
So let me go, but don't you let me fade away
[Verse 2]
G F
If you close a door, swim for the shore
C Am
Walk straight into the sun and let the healing horses run
Em D G
Cuz it won't do you any good to bleed
Em D G
Another tear over what became of me
[Chorus]
G F
Baby Baby don't you love me?
C Am
All your tears wont change your past
Em D G
They'll only drown the smiles on your face
G F C Am
And maybe Baby all that we had, was never ever meant to last
Em D G
So let me go, but don't you let me fade away
[Bridge]
Em G
When he holds you in his arms, and your laying in my bed
Em G
Does he turn you on, the way that I did?
[Chorus]
G F
Baby Baby don't you love me?
C Am
All your tears wont change your past
Em D G
They'll only drown the smiles on your face
G F C Am
And maybe Baby all that we had, was never ever meant to last
Em D G
So let me go, but don't you let me fade away
