Casting Crowns - Slow Fade
Capo 1 


Intro   Am   |C   |G   |F    || x3

Verse 1
   Am                          C
Be careful little eyes what you see
         G                                     Dm
It's the second glance that ties your hands as darkness pulls the strings
   Am                            C
Be careful little feet where you go
             G                               Dm
For it's the little feet behind you that are sure to follow

Chorus
       Am                 G
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
       Dm             F
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Am               G/B                   C
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
         F
When you give yourself away
Dm                        G
People never crumble in a day
       Am     C          G      F
It's a slow fade, it's a slow fade


Verse 2
   Am                           C
Be careful little ears what you hear
     G                                 Dm
When flattery leads to compromise, the end is always near
   Am                           C
Be careful little lips what you say
    G                             Dm                   
For empty words and promises lead broken hearts astray

Chorus
       Am                 G
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
       Dm             F
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Am               G/B                   C
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
         F
When you give yourself away
Dm                        G
People never crumble in a day





Bridge
    Dm                             F
The journey from your mind to your hands
                           Am      G
Is shorter than you?re thinking
   Dm                         F
Be careful if you think you stand
                     C        F
You just might be sinking

Inst  Am   |C   |G   |Dm   ||

Chorus
       Am                 G
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
       Dm             F
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Am               G/B                   C
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
         F
When you give yourself away
Dm                        G
People never crumble in a day
Dm                         G
Daddies never crumble in a day
Dm                          F
Families never crumble in a day

Outro
      Am                       G/B
Oh be careful little eyes what see
      C                            F
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
        Dm                  Am
For the Father up above is looking down in love
      G                            C
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
