There was something in the desert, there was some place wild and green
And a child in a village I passed through. 
There are places that I have traveled and so many things I?ve seen and it all fades away,
    D
But you
        D                              G
I was sliding down a mountain, I was burning in the sun,
        D                           A
I was crying with amazement at the view
        D                          G
I was capturing a moment, but when all is said and done;
         D          A 
Well it all fades away but you.

Chorus:
    D         G        A         D        G          A        D
It all fades away, it all fades away, it all fades away but you


Verse 2:  D                                   G
I have sailed across the oceans, passed the cities and the farms
       D                                A
On a never-ending quest for something new.
         D                                G
And the only thing that mattered was the four days in your arms
        D        A
And it all fades away but you

Chorus:
     D        G         A        D        G          A        D
It all fades away, it all fades away, it all fades away but you

(Ahhhhhhs)   D  G  D  A  (x4)

          D                                  G
There is one thing that?s eternal, that can not be torn apart. 
           D                              A 
There is one thing that remains forever true
            D                                     G
Past the thinking, past the breathing, past the beating of my heart
         D          A      D   
It will all fade away but you

Chorus: (x2)
    D         G        A         D        G         A        D          G
It all fades away, it all fades away, it all fades away but you
     D      G
But you
     D      G    
But you
D
You.
