Intro:

G , G/f# , G , D

G , G/f# , G , G/F#


        Em
You grew wings
            D , D4 , D
On your heart
         C                E
but you let it out your ribcage
         Bm          D
and it flew into the dark

Bm , D     Em
Like a ghost
              D , D4 , D
Just like a ghost
         C              Em
And it flutters by my window
        Bm                D
when I need my sleep the most

Open E string x6

   C                      D
So choose my weapon and choose my way
  G                                  Em
It's easy sayin' nothing when there's nothing to say
   C                    D
I'm thinking about it every day
    G                         E
and starting to notice you're fading away

      C
You fade like a shadow
 D
Fade like a shadow
G                    E
Fade like a shadow, fade
     C
You fade like a shadow
D
Fade like a shadow

G , G/f#
G , G/f#

          Em
You want eyes
        D , D4 , D
in your hands
    C               Em
and power in your pocket
    Bm              D
as I stop to watch you dance

Bm    D
with your...

Then play this over the whole 'hips swinging' and 'again again again' sections,

G | ---------------------------------------------- | 
D | --------------------------------0-0---0------- | 
A | -----------3-3------------2-2-2-2---0--------- | 
E | ---0-0-0-0-----3-3-3-3------------------------ |

hips swinging
your snake hips swinging
got your hips swinging
your snake hips swinging
got your hips swinging
your snake hips swinging again

again again again...

whoa-oh you got your hips swinging
your snake hips swinging
got your hips swinging
your snake hips swinging
got your hips swinging
your snake hips swinging again
                  (keep playing the open E string)
and again and again and again


  C                      D
So choose my weapon and choose my way
    G                                  Em
It's easy sayin' nothing when there's nothing to say
    C                    D
I'm thinking about you every day
    G                 E
and starting to notice

      C
that it's two steps forward
   D
and one step back
 G                             Em
make up in love for what you think I lack
C                     D
you've got a vampire on your neck
G                        Em
everybody knows what happens next

    C
You fade like a shadow
D
Fade like a shadow
G                    Em
Fade like a shadow, fade
   C
You fade like a shadow
D               G                E
Fade like a shadow

   C                      D
So choose my weapon and choose my way
    G                                Em
It's easy sayin' nothing when there's nothing to say
   C            D
I'm thinking about you every day
     G       Em
and starting to notice

    C
You fade like a shadow
D
Fade like a shadow
G                    Em
Fade like a shadow, fade
    C
You fade like a shadow

Fade like a shadow
