capo 2nd fret

VERSE 1
 G              C
 Sunday matinee

              G
In a one dog town

                   C
You're two seats away

                  G
I move two seats down

                          C
Wipe the tears from your eyes

                  G
The first kiss I stole

            C
I walk you home

             G
The credits roll



CHORUS
         C
Fade to black

         G
Fade to black

         C
Fade to black

         G
Fade to black



VERSE 2
           C
I hear my voice

            G
On the telephone

              C
But I'm just running

              G
The same old business

                 C
I feel like I'm off

               G
Somewhere so alone

                  C
Just watching us both

             G
Running the distance

             C
Watching us both

             G
Slowly pull back



CHORUS
         C
Fade to black

         G
Fade to black

         C
Fade to black



VERSE 3
 G          C
  I come home

                      G
Clothes all over the place

                      C
You're crying in the corner

                          G
Makeup running down your face

[             C       Springsteen sings a wrong line here and immediately
Your case is packed]     corrects himself
           C
The fight starts

          G
I end up cursin'

                  C
Baby is this the scene

                 G
Which we been rehearsin'

             C
Is this the one

                G
Or have I lost track

             C
Waitin' for us

            G
To fade to black



CHORUS
         C
Fade to black

         G
Fade to black

         C
Fade to black



VERSE 4
 G                   C
  A face wet with shame

                  G
Eyes filled with hurt

                   C
I scream out your name

           G:
You rip my shirt

| G | C |

 G                C
  A small bungalow

             G
A late afternoon

              C
The sunlight falls

               G
Like a bright veil

          C
A camera pans

          G
An empty room

                C
The picture dissolves

              G
Slowly pulls back



CHORUS
         C
Fade to black

         G
Fade to black

         C
Fade to black
