The Fade Away chords by Garfunkel And Oates

Chords with lyrics

Figured Out On Ukulele, Same On Guitar
Capo 1st Fret
C majorC
We've been on a bunch of dates
G+G
I weigh debates that this creates
     FF                      G+G
And hate that state of forced introspection
C majorC
We traded wit, we swapped some spit,
G+G
You fingered me a little bit
FF                    G+G
But we never really had a connection

FF              C majorC  FF            C majorC
You did nothing wrong, I have no excuse
FF      C majorC                       G+G
Just my intuition telling me we shouldn't reproduce

C majorC
I know I have to end it
G+G
But pretend to just suspend it
  FF                 G+G
By contending that I'm busy all week
C majorC
I let the foregone linger on
G+G
Text back with an emoticon
FF                 G+G
Withdraw from you by being oblique

FF     C majorC        FF          C majorC
Inside I know my tactics just delay it
      FF       C majorC                   G+G
But I'd do anything so I don't have to say it

FF                   G+G
I'll draw this out forever like it's Vietnam
         FF             G+G
Then one day I'll be gone like Bambi's mom Awww

FF           C majorC
Cause there's the right thing to do
                FF         C majorC
Then there's what I'm gonna do
       FF         C majorC
There's so much I should say
        G+G            A minorAm
But instead... I do the fade away

G+G               C majorC
Now I'm fading like chalk on a sidewalk
         G+G             C majorC
Or the polio virus after Jonas Salk
     G+G                   C majorC
Like a Jewish guy at Arby's on Yom Kippur
A minorAm
The Whig party post Millard Fillmore

G+G                      C majorC
The erection of a man on antidepressants
   G+G                     C majorC
The cast of Diff'rent Strokes after adolescence
G+G                    C majorC
Reproductive rights below the Mason Dixon
A minorAm
Native Americans after the barter systems

DmDm               G+G
Your thyroid gland after Hashimoto
DmDm                 D MajorD
The family in the Back to the Future photo
A minorAm
Yeah I fade away

C majorC                     G+G
We say that men are asshole who don't communicate
    FF                            G+G
We revel in our victimhood and amplify our hate
      C majorC                  G+G
We find ways to be indignant like it's a sport
            FF                    G+G
Then dissect their malignance with the views we distort

FF            C majorC         FF         C majorC
The way men break up may be sloppy and terse
     FF           C majorC         G+G
What they do is bad, but what we do is worse

C majorC                 G+G
We pretend to ourselves it's the nice thing to do
   FF                G+G
To let you down gently by just not fucking telling you
    C majorC                    G+G
And deep down we know it's the worst way to play it
       FF             G+G
But we are what we have... huge pussies

G+G          C majorC
And women are hypocrites
G+G            C majorC
Especially ones in comedy bands
G+G                C majorC
We see your faults but not our own
A minorAm
Then we wonder why we're all alone

FF            C majorC    FF        C majorC
We fill you up with maybe's, excuses and stalls
FF                 G+G
But like a baby in China... it's better to have balls

FF                     G+G
Not the Good Wife type like Christine Baranski
     FF                   G+G
So I'll pull out and leave like I'm Roman Polanski

FF           C majorC
Cause there's the right thing to do
                FF          C majorC
Then there's what I'm gonna do
          FF            C majorC
There's so much I should say
    G+G                A minorAm
But instead... I do the fade away

     G+G                C majorC
Like Verbal Kint fading into Kaiser Soze
    G+G                        C majorC
The rights in Arizona for a guy named Jose
G+G                C majorC
Opportunities for a college grad
A minorAm
The love between your mom and dad
G+G                C majorC
Gonna Peter out like a gay Cetera
G+G                C majorC
Iranian relations since the Regan era
G+G                    C majorC
Black Nike sales after Heaven's Gate
A minorAm
Summer Camp attendance at Penn State

DmDm               G+G
The name Adolph after World War Two
    DmDm               D MajorD
Like Debbie Gibson's pop career, Out of the Blue
A minorAm
Yeah I fade away
        G+G            C majorC
Cause I don't wanna get to know you
           G+G     C majorC
I just want to blow you... off
