Standard (EADGBE)

*these are optional, it's what he does in the song, you can hear that string going down

to F#/Gb but you can do the standard major positions for G and D just fine as they are

same notes.

Intro

Verse 1

standing in the dark outside the house

breathing in the cold and sterile air

 well i was thinking how it must feel

 to see that little light

 and watch it as it disappears

 and fades into, and fades into the night

Verse 2

so i know you're going pretty soon

radiation sore throat got your tongue

magic markers tattoo you

 and show it where to aim

 and strangers break their promises

 you won't feel any, you wont feel any pain

Bridge

 and the streets are jammed with cars

rockin' their horns to race to the wire

 of the un finished line

Verse 3

thought that i'd forget all about the past

but it doesn't let me run too fast

 and i just wanna stand outside

 and know that this is right

 and this is true and i will not

fade into, fade into the night

i'm standing here in the dark
