Intro 
C  C Fadd9 C Am Em Fadd9 x2 
 
C                               C 
I still think of you and forget my name 
Fadd9                                 C 
Forget the rules to this filthy game 
Am                              Em                               Fadd9 
I'm still your fool and I'm not ashamed to say 
C                               C 
Your voice, the song stuck in my head 
Fadd9                                 C 
Your scent, the scent that paints my bed 
Am                              Em                               Fadd9 
If not for your faith then I'd be dead today 
 
Chorus 
Am       Fadd9          C   ​ 
I know you had to go 
Am       Fadd9          C   ​ 
Everything I did and didn't say 
Am       Fadd9          C   ​ 
I know you had to go 
Am       Fadd9          C    ​ 
But please don't fade away 
 
​ 
 
C                               C 
On nights when I feel dead inside 
Fadd9                                 C 
I drink too much and I take a ride 
Am                              Em                                
To find a place on the other side 
Fadd9 
Where my heart don't have to know 
C 	  	  	   C 
It's a desperate sky, it's a lonesome call 
Fadd9                                 C 
It's a fog of shame and alcohol 
Am                              Em                            
And I wish to God that you would call 
Fadd9 
Cause I'm running out of road 
 
Chorus x2 
Am       Fadd9          C   ​ 
I know you had to go 
Am       Fadd9          C    ​ 
Everything I did and didn't say 
Am       Fadd9          C      ​ 
I know you had to go 
Am       Fadd9          C     ​ 
But please don't fade away 
 
Please don't fade away
