Fading

F  C  Dm  Gm

F            C
It's Walmart, the bathroom
Dm              Gm
I'm staring in the mirror
F          C
Florescent lights are bright
Dm               Gm
It makes the lines clearer
F            C
Where did the Angel go?
Dm                           Gm
Cigarette smoke's all that's left
F                          C
I've traded my wings in for a string of pearls
Dm                    Gm
And a string is all I've left

F  C  Dm  Gm

F             C
The lighbulbs buzz
Dm               Gm
Someone's in the stall
F          C
Big white, brick wall
Dm            Gm
Makes me feel small
     F        C
And I take my shirt off
Dm                       Gm
Looking for a glimpse of flesh
F             C
Peel back the concrete
             Dm               Gm
Hope there's something natural left

         F
Cuz I am fading
     C
I am fading
    Dm     Gm
I am fading away
     F                C
I am fading just like fairytales
Dm              Gm
And a hero loses faith
    Dm    Gm
I am fading

F                   C
The air smells like urine
Dm                  Gm
It's gettin hard to breathe
F                     C
I could walk out that door
Dm                     Gm
But no one ever really leaves
     F        C
And I take my clothing off
Dm            Gm
Trying not to forget
F                      C
Stupid things like the color of rain
   Dm                            Gm
And the smell of stone when it's wet

     F
I am fading
     C
I am fading
    Dm      Gm
I am fading away
     F                C
I am fading just like fairytales
     Dm         Gm
And a hero loses faith

         Gm           F
And I am naked in the mirror
       Dm             C
With a feather in my hand
  Gm                    F
A lady comes out of the bathroom screaming
    Dm
"Oh Jesus!"
            C
She couldn't understand
     F               C                  Dm                        Gm
But I ask her, "Hey, what happens to us when we get old and in the way?"
F           C
I guess she answered me
         Dm              Gm
Cause they, they took me away

     F
I am fading
     C
I am fading
    Dm      Gm
I am fading away
     F                C
I am fading just like fairytales
     Dm         Gm
An a hero loses faith
      F
And I don't know how
      C
And I don't know when
           Dm
Don't know when I forgot
          Gm
Hope I'll remember again
    F C Dm Gm
I am fading away
     F   Gm
I am fading
