The Fade Away Chords

Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 You didF nothing wrong, I have no excCuse F C

FJust my intuiCtion telling me we shouldn't reproduce G

CI know I have to end it

GBut pretend to just suspend it

 By cFontending that I'm busy all week G

CI let the foregone linger on

GText back with an emoticon

FWithdraw from you by being obliqueG

FInside I knCow my tactics juFst delay it C

 But I'd do aFnything so I dCon't have to say it G

FI'll draw this out forever like it's ViGetnam

 Then one day I'll Fbe gone like Bambi's mom AGwww

 Cause there's the right thing to Fdo C

 Then there's what I'm gonna do F C

 There's so mucFh I should say C

 But instead... GI do the fade away Am

 Now I'm fading Glike chalk on a sidewalk C

 Or the polio virusG after Jonas Salk C

 Like a JewGish guy at Arby's on Yom Kippur C

AmThe Whig party post Millard Fillmore

GThe erection of a man on antidepressants C

 The caGst of Diff'rent Strokes after adolescence C

GReproductive rights below the Mason DixoCn

AmNative Americans after the barter systems

DmYour thyroid gland after HashimoGto

DmThe family in the Back to the FuturDe photo

AmYeah I fade away

CWe say that men are asshole who don't commGunicate

 We reveFl in our victimhood and amplify our hate G

 We find waysC to be indignant like it's a sport G

 Then dissect their maligFnance with the views we distort G

FThe way men break up may Cbe sloppy and tersFe C

 What they Fdo is bad, but what weC do is worse G

 We pretCend to ourselves it's the nice thiGng to do

 To letF you down gently by just not fucGking telling you

 And deepC down we know it's the worst way to playG it

 But we are whFat we have... huge pussies G

 And womeGn are hypocrites C

GEspecially ones in comedCy bands

GWe see your faults but not our oCwn

AmThen we wonder why we're all alone

FWe fill you up with maybCe's, excuFses and stalls C

FBut like a baby in China... it's beGtter to have balls

 Not the GooFd Wife type like Christine Baranski G

 So I'll puFll out and leave like I'm Roman PolansGki

 Cause there's the right Fthing to do C

 Then there's what I'm gonna do F C

 There's so much I shFould say C

 But insGtead... I do the fade away Am

 Like VerbaGl Kint fading into Kaiser Soze C

 The rigGhts in Arizona for a guy named Jose C

GOpportunities for a college gradC

AmThe love between your mom and dad

GGonna Peter out like a gay CeteraC

GIranian relations since the RegaCn era

GBlack Nike sales after Heaven's Gate C

AmSummer Camp attendance at Penn State

 The nameDm Adolph after World War Two G

 Like DebDmbie Gibson's pop career, Out of Dthe Blue

AmYeah I fade away

 Cause I don't waGnna get to know you C

 I just want to blow yoGu... off C
