Fading Away Ukulele chords by Lisa Cimorelli

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Intro:
Am F C G

Verse 1:
Am                           F
I feel like I’ve been gone for a long time
C               G                Am
My body’s present but I cannot find my mind
F                                C
I used to love feeling everything inside
G
But I’m afraid the well’s run dry
Am                    F
Every time I get a second to myself
C                 G                  Am
I can’t help but give it up to someone else
F                               C
My brain is like a cavernous, empty shell
G

And I’m lost inside

Pre-Chorus 1:
Dm          F
What is going on?
Am
Where has my heart gone?
G          F
I miss the sun

Chorus:
Am                  F
I paint a smile on my face
C               G
I keep my hands busy
Am             F
I try to trick myself
C                  E7
But I know I am not okay
Am                F
I’m breaking under the weight
C                          G
Of the guilt filling up my plate

Post-Chorus:
F                 E7
I feel myself fading away
Am F C G
Am F C G/B

Verse 2:
Am          F           C
I just wanna be left all alone
G                        Am
Don’t wanna say yes, don’t wanna say no
F                      C
Don’t wanna hear a sound anywhere I go
G                                Am
The pain is too much, just let me be alone
F                            C
It hurts me to stay, it kills me to go
G                              Am
Letting you down hurts more than you know
F                                C
And I could never be all that you want
G
And it’s been tearing me apart

Pre-Chorus 2:
Dm             F
What is going on?
Am
Why am I so numb?
G          F
I miss the sun

Chorus:
Am                  F
I paint a smile on my face
C               G
I keep my hands busy
Am                F
I try to trick myself
C                  E7
But I know I am not okay
Am                F
I’m breaking under the weight
C                          G
Of the guilt filling up my plate

Post-Chorus:
F                 E7
I feel myself fading away

Bridge:
Dm7       Am          G          Dm7
And I know I can’t keep living this way
Am                 G                Dm7
All these sleepless nights and wasted days
Am                 G             F
I know what’s to come if I don’t change
E7
I’ll soon’ve faded away

Outro:
Am                  F           C          G
I think of everyone else, but no one’s there for me
Am           F                 C               E
I’ve got to love myself and tell them I am not okay
Am                 F              C                 G
I’m buried under the shame and there’s nobody else to blame
F                    E7
I feel myself fading away
F                 E7
I won’t let myself fade away
