Intro:G5 - D5 - E5 - C5 G5 - D5 - E5 - C5 G5 D5 - E5 C5 1. It's K-Mart, the bathroom , I'm staring in the mirror, G5 D5 E5 C5 the green lights are bright, it makes the lines clearer. G5 D5 - E5 C5 Where did the angels go, cigarette smoke's all that's left, G5 D5 I've traded my wings in for a string of pearls, E5 C5 - G5 - D5 - E5 - C5 and now the string is all I've le...........ft. G5 D5 - E5 C5 2. The light bulbs burn so much, someone's in the stall, G5 - D5 E5 C5 big white brick wall, makes me feel small. - G5 D5 E5 C5 And I I take my shirt off, looking for a glimpse of flesh, G5 D5 E5 C5 I peel back the concrete, I hope there's still some soil left. G5 D5 E5 C5 'Cause I am fading, I am fading, I am fading away. G5 D5 E5 C5 I am fading, just like fairy tales, when the hero loses faith. ~ I am fading. G5 D5 - E5 C5 3. The air smells like urine, it's getting hard to breeze, G5 D5 E5 C5 I could walk out that door, but no one ever really leaves. - G5 D5 E5 C5 And I I take all my clothing off, trying not to forget, - G5 D5 oh, stupid things like the color of rain, E5 C5 and the smell of stone when it's wet. C5 E5 Bb5 A5 And I am naked in the mirror with a feather in my hand, C5 E5 the lady comes out of the bathroom , Bb5 screaming, "Oh, Jesus!" Like I was a man. A5 G5 And I ask her "Hey, what happens to us, E5 C5 when we get old and in the way?" G5 D5 - E5 C5 I guess she answered me, 'cos they, they took me away. G5 D5 E5 C5 And I am fading, I am fading, I am fading away. G5 D5 E5 C5 I am fading, just like fairy tales, when the hero loses faith. G5 D5 And I can't remember, why or when, E5 C5 I hope that I'll remember again. G5 - D5 - E5 - C5 G5 - D5 - E5 - C5 And I am fa......ding. And I'm fa......ding.
