Intro: Bbm C# Ab F# (3x)

Verse 1
Bbm                                                    C#
Be careful little eyes what you see
            Ab                                                        Ebm
It's the second glance that ties your hands as darkness pulls the strings
      Bbm                                              C#
Be careful little feet where you go
                  Ab                                          Ebm
For it's the little feet behind you that are sure to follow

Chorus
         Bbm                         Ab
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
         Ebm                   F#
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
        Bbm                    Ab/C                        C#
And thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
                  F#
When you give yourself away
Ebm                                           Ab
People never crumble in a day
         Bbm          C#           Ab             F#
It's a slow fade,         it's a slow fade

Verse 2
Be careful little ears what you hear
When flattery leads to compromise, the end is always near
Be careful little lips what you say
For empty words and promises lead broken hearts astray

Chorus 2
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day         

Bridge
       Ebm                                                       F#
The journey from your mind to your hands
                                   Bbm           Ab
Is shorter than you're thinking
     Ebm                                             F#
Be careful if you think you stand,
                                    C#          F#
You just might be sinking

Chorus 3
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
Daddies never crumble in a day
Families never crumble in a day

Oh be careful little eyes what you see
           C#                                       F#
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
            Ebm                      Gbma7/C#
For the Father up above is looking down in love
           Ab                                       C#
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
