Key: BbBb | Capo: 0fr |  Left-Handed 

    


Intro
Bb
Verse 1
In a time where the sun descends alone
I ran a long long way from home
To find a heart that's made out of stone
I will try, I just need a little time
To get your face right out of my mind
To see the world through different eyes...
Chorus
F          Bb             D     C
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
F  G  A  Bb                 C         F
But when we meet it seems I can't let go
F              Bb               D        C             Bb *  C
Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading like a flower
* = With this played over the rhythm between the chords
    after "flower"

Tell me why, when I scream there's no reply

                 D   C   F
Fading like a rose...
G                D   C   F
Fading like a rose...
G                D   C   F
Beaten by the storm
G          A (keep going)
Talking to myself, getting washed by the rain,
it's such a cold cold town
Where the D, C, F and G chords are muffled slightly.
And the chords used are these:
    E  A  D G  B e
D: 10-12-12-X--X-X|
C: -8-10-10-X--X-X|
F: -X--8-10-10-X-X|
G: -X-10-12-12-X-X|
A: -X-12-14-14-X-X|
