Intro:  F B d C   F B C F   F B d C B5

      d              a             d
In a time where the sun descends alone  
         F         C        d
I ran a long long way from home  
            a                        G
To find a heart that's made out of stone  
        d            a            d
I will try, I just need a little time  
             F          C         d
To get your face right out of my mind  
            a                       G
To see the world through different eyes...  
 
 (Chorus)  
  F            B             d      C 
  Every time I see you oh I try to hide away  
  F            B                C       F
  But when we meet it seems I can't let go  
  F               B                 d       C              B5    ..C5
  Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading like a flower  

         d              a                d
Tell me why, when I scream there's no reply  
         F         C                 d
When I reach out there's nothing to find   
         a                     G
When I sleep I break down and cry... cry...yeah...  

(Chorus)  
  F            B             d      C 
  Every time I see you oh I try to hide away  
  F            B                C       F
  But when we meet it seems I can't let go  
  F               B                 d       C              B5   C5
  Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading like a flower  

               d C F G
Fading like a rose...   
               d C F G
Fading like a rose... 
                d C F G  
Beaten by the storm  
              a
Talking to myself, getting washed by the rain,  
                       d
it's such a cold cold town

(Chorus)  
  F            B             d      C 
  Every time I see you oh I try to hide away  
  F            B                C       F
  But when we meet it seems I can't let go  
  F               B                 d       C              B
  Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading like a flower
