VERSE 1
G            C
 Sunday matinee
             G
In a one dog town
                  C
You're two seats away
                 G
I move two seats down
                         C
Wipe the tears from your eyes
                 G
The first kiss I stole
           C
I walk you home
            G
The credits roll


CHORUS
        C
Fade to black
        G
Fade to black
        C
Fade to black
        G
Fade to black


VERSE 2
          C
I hear my voice
           G
On the telephone
             C
But I'm just running
             G
The same old business
                C
I feel like I'm off
              G
Somewhere so alone
                 C
Just watching us both
            G
Running the distance
            C
Watching us both
            G
Slowly pull back


CHORUS
        C
Fade to black
        G
Fade to black
        C
Fade to black


VERSE 3
G        C
  I come home
                     G
Clothes all over the place
                     C
You're crying in the corner
                         G
Makeup running down your face
[             C       Springsteen sings a wrong line here and immediately
Your case is packed]     corrects himself
          C
The fight starts
         G
I end up cursin'
                 C
Baby is this the scene
                G
Which we been rehearsin'
            C
Is this the one
               G
Or have I lost track
            C
Waitin' for us
           G
To fade to black


CHORUS
        C
Fade to black
        G
Fade to black
        C
Fade to black


VERSE 4
G                 C
  A face wet with shame
                 G
Eyes filled with hurt
                  C
I scream out your name
           [G]
You rip my shirt

| G | C | 

G              C
  A small bungalow
            G
A late afternoon
             C
The sunlight falls
              G
Like a bright veil
         C
A camera pans
         G
An empty room
               C
The picture dissolves
             G
Slowly pulls back


CHORUS
        C
Fade to black
        G
Fade to black
        C
Fade to black
