VERSE 1
G C
Sunday matinee
G
In a one dog town
C
You're two seats away
G
I move two seats down
C
Wipe the tears from your eyes
G
The first kiss I stole
C
I walk you home
G
The credits roll
CHORUS
C
Fade to black
G
Fade to black
C
Fade to black
G
Fade to black
VERSE 2
C
I hear my voice
G
On the telephone
C
But I'm just running
G
The same old business
C
I feel like I'm off
G
Somewhere so alone
C
Just watching us both
G
Running the distance
C
Watching us both
G
Slowly pull back
CHORUS
C
Fade to black
G
Fade to black
C
Fade to black
VERSE 3
G C
I come home
G
Clothes all over the place
C
You're crying in the corner
G
Makeup running down your face
[ C Springsteen sings a wrong line here and immediately
Your case is packed] corrects himself
C
The fight starts
G
I end up cursin'
C
Baby is this the scene
G
Which we been rehearsin'
C
Is this the one
G
Or have I lost track
C
Waitin' for us
G
To fade to black
CHORUS
C
Fade to black
G
Fade to black
C
Fade to black
VERSE 4
G C
A face wet with shame
G
Eyes filled with hurt
C
I scream out your name
[G]
You rip my shirt
| G | C |
G C
A small bungalow
G
A late afternoon
C
The sunlight falls
G
Like a bright veil
C
A camera pans
G
An empty room
C
The picture dissolves
G
Slowly pulls back
CHORUS
C
Fade to black
G
Fade to black
C
Fade to black
