    G - D    - G - D    - G - D - A

 

                            G

1. Well, now you say you’ve found another man

               A                                   D

    who does things to you that I can’t,

              G                                         A

    and that, no matter what I do, it’s all over now

                    D

    between me and you, girl.

                         G

    But I can’t believe what you say,

                          A

    no, I can’t believe what you say, ‘cause, baby ....

 

G                                 D         G                                 D

 I don’t wanna fade away, no, I don’t wanna fade away,

                       G                             D

tell me, what can I do, what can I say,

                         A                                 D

cause, darling, I don’t wanna fade away.

 

                             G

2. Well, now you say that you’ve made up your mind,

             A                                                 D

    it’s been such a long, long time since it’s been good with us,

                    G

    and that somewhere back along the line

            A                            D

    you lost your love and I lost your trust.

                               G

    Now rooms that once were so bright

                                  A

    are filled with the coming night, oh, darling.

 

+  CHORUS

 

                               G           D                                            A    D

+  You say it’s not easy for you, and that you’ve been so lonely,

                        G          D    G                 D                A

    while other girls go out, doing what they want to do.

                                  G           D                                     A   D

    You say that you miss the nights when we’d go out dancing,

G                            D        G  D              A

    the days when you and I walked as two.

                        G                                  A                       Bm

    Well, girl, I miss them, too, oh, I swear that I do, oh, girl !

 

+  Bm - Em - A

 

                      G                                    A

3. Now, baby, I don’t wanna be just another useless memory

D

    holding you tight,

                          G                                                  A

    or just some other ghost out on the street to whom you stop

                                 - D

    and politely speak      when you pass on by,

                     G                                        A

    vanishing into the night, left to vanish into the night, no baby.

 

G                                 D         G                                D

 I don’t wanna fade away, no, I don’t wanna fade away,

                       G                             D

tell me, what can I do, what can I say,

                         A                                 D

cause, darling, I don’t wanna fade away.

 

+  repeat CHORUS

 

+  G - D   - G - D (2x, with varying bits of lyrics) ...
