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
