Roxette - Fading Like A Flower (Every Time You Leave)
-----------------------------------------------------
Trans. Ben Sinclair (ssusncla@rdg.ac.uk)

Bb
[Verse 1]

In a time where the sun descends alone
I ran a long long way from home
To find a heart that's made out of stone
I will try, I just need a little time
To get your face right out of my mind
To see the world through different eyes...

[Chorus]

F          Bb             D     C
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
F  G  A  Bb                 C         F
But when we meet it seems I can't let go
F              Bb               D        C             Bb *  C
Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading like a flower


     * = With this played over the rhythm between the chords
         after "flower"

When I sleep I break down and cry... cry...yeah...

                 D   C   F
Fading like a rose...
G                D   C   F
Fading like a rose...
G                D   C   F
Beaten by the storm
G          A --->(keep going)
Talking to myself, getting washed by the rain,
it's such a cold cold town

    Where the D, C, F and G chords are muffled slightly.
    And the chords used are these:

    E  A  D  G  B  E
D: 10 12 12 -- -- --|
C:  8 10 10 -- -- --|
F: --  8 10 10 -- --|
G: -- 10 12 12 -- --|
A: -- 12 14 14 -- --|

G          C              E     D
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away

Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading like a flower


[Outro] With the bass playing the chorus:

    (This sounds ok, but it's probably not how he plays it)
