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.

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

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

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

the
days when you and I walked as two.

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.
