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.
