Tom: G
Intro: G - D - Em - C           G - D - Em - C
 
  G              D            -  Em                   C
1.   It's K-Mart, the bathroom,        I'm staring in the mirror,
G      D                 Em                      C
    the green lights are bright, it makes the lines clearer.
G          D             - Em                             C
    Where did the angels go,       cigarette smoke's all that's left,
G                                          D          
    I've traded my wings in for a string of pearls,
             Em                  C - G - D - Em - C
    and now the string is all I've le……………...…..ft.
 
   G                 D                   - Em               C
2.    The light bulbs burn so much,         someone’s in the stall,
G       - D            Em                      C
    big white        brick wall, makes me feel small.
    - G             D        Em                           C
    And I       I take my shirt off, looking for a glimpse of flesh,
G                   D                 Em                 C
    I peel back the concrete, I hope there's still some soil left.
 
      G           D          Em                C
    ‘Cause I am fading, I am fading, I am fading away.
     G                   D                 Em            C
    I am fading, just like fairy tales, when the hero loses faith.
                           ~
    I am fading.
 
  G                D       - Em                                  C
3.   The air smells like urine,          it’s getting hard to breeze,
G                  D          Em                           C
    I could walk out that door, but no one ever really  leaves.
    - G                    D               Em              C
    And I      I take all my clothing off, trying not to forget,
         - G                          D               
    oh,      stupid things like the color of rain,
       Em                         C
    and the smell of stone when it's wet.
 
 
           C                  Em               Bb         A
    And I am naked in the mirror with a feather in my hand,
           C                      Em
    the lady comes out of the bathroom,
                Bb
   screaming, "Oh, Jesus!" Like I was a man.
            A                        G
    And I ask her "Hey, what happens to us, 
        Em                    C
    when we get old and in the way?"
G            D                  - Em                          C
    I guess she answered me, ‘cos they,        they took me away.
 
       G                 D       Em                C
    And I am fading, I am fading, I    am fading away.
         G               D                       Em            C
    I am fading, just like fairy tales, when the hero loses faith.
               G                D
    And I can’t remember, why or when,
       Em                   C
    I hope that I’ll remember again.
             G - D - Em - C              G - D - Em - C
    And I am fa…………..ding.        And I’m fa………..…ding.
