Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 Be careful little eyes what you see

 It’s the second glance that ties your hands as darkness pulls the strings

 Be careful little feet where you go

 For it’s the little feet behind you that are sure to follow

 It’s a slow fade when you give yourself away

 It’s a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray

Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid

 When you give yourself away

People never crumble in a day

 It’s a slow fade, it’s a slow fade

 Be careful little ears what you hear

 When flattery leads to compromise, the end is always near

 Be careful little lips what you say

 For empty words and promises lead broken hearts astray

 It’s a slow fade when you give yourself away

 It’s a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray

Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid

 When you give yourself away

People never crumble in a day

 The journey from your mind to your hands

 Is shorter than you’re thinking

 Be careful if you think you stand

 You just might be sinking

 It’s a slow fade when you give yourself away

 It’s a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray

Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid

 When you give yourself away

People never crumble in a day

Daddies never crumble in a day

Families never crumble in a day

 Oh be careful little eyes what see

 Oh be careful little eyes what you see

 For the Father up above is looking down in love

 Oh be careful little eyes what you see
