Intro:

G5 , G/f# , G5 , D5

G5 , G/f# , G5 , G5


        E5
You grew wings
            D5 , D5 , D5
On your heart
         C5                E5
but you let it out your ribcage
         B5          D5
and it flew into the dark

B5 , D5     E5
Like a ghost
              D5 , D5 , D5
Just like a ghost
         C5              E5
And it flutters by my window
        B5                D5
when I need my sleep the most

Open E5 string x6

   C5                      D5
So choose my weapon and choose my way
  G5                                  E5
It's easy sayin' nothing when there's nothing to say
   C5                    D5
I'm thinking about it every day
    G5                         E5
and starting to notice you're fading away

      C5
You fade like a shadow
 D5
Fade like a shadow
G5                    E5
Fade like a shadow, fade
     C5
You fade like a shadow
D5
Fade like a shadow

G5 , G/f#
G5 , G/f#

          E5
You want eyes
        D5 , D5 , D5
in your hands
    C5               E5
and power in your pocket
    B5              D5
as I stop to watch you dance

B5    D5
with your...

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


  C5                      D5
So choose my weapon and choose my way
    G5                                  E5
It's easy sayin' nothing when there's nothing to say
    C5                    D5
I'm thinking about you every day
    G5                 E5
and starting to notice

      C5
that it's two steps forward
   D5
and one step back
 G5                             E5
make up in love for what you think I lack
C5                     D5
you've got a vampire on your neck
G5                        E5
everybody knows what happens next

    C5
You fade like a shadow
D5
Fade like a shadow
G5                    E5
Fade like a shadow, fade
   C5
You fade like a shadow
D5               G5                E5
Fade like a shadow

   C5                      D5
So choose my weapon and choose my way
    G5                                E5
It's easy sayin' nothing when there's nothing to say
   C5            D5
I'm thinking about you every day
     G5       E5
and starting to notice

    C5
You fade like a shadow
D5
Fade like a shadow
G5                    E5
Fade like a shadow, fade
    C5
You fade like a shadow
D5               G5
Fade like a shadow
