Fading Away - James Taylor KEY OF C
C F G C
When I've got something to say,
Am F
don't I always let you know?
Am D7 Gsus G C
So that you and I can go my way together.
C F G C
And if I get carried a-way,
Am F
I could be sailing on a song
Am D7 Gsus G C
and maybe we could carry on forever.
F G C Am F
But lately this old dog has been chasing his tail
Dm G C
round and round and round.
F G C
And the circles in my mind,
E E7 F
they have been winding slowly down.
Dm Dm/E F F Am D Gsus G C
Everybody's breezing up but I'm seizing up, I'm freezing up and I'm fa-ding away.
C F G C
I've got a hold on a night in June,
Am F
I've got room for you and me.
Am D7
I've got moonlight up in the trees,
Gsus G C
I've got sixty-eight degrees.
C F G C
I've got nothing on my mind
Am F
but I've got loving in my heart,
Am D7
And I've got something out in the garden
Gsus G C
I want to show you.
F G C Am F
Well, it really doesn't matter after all,
Dm G C
if we quit this round about
F G C
and no one will really notice if we just
E E7 F
sit this next one out.
Dm Dm/E F F
You can strike up the band without me,
Am D7
you may have your doubts about me,
Gsus G G C
But I'm just fa-ding away.
C Am D7 Gsus-G G C
You can hardly even see me because I'm fa-ding a-way.
(instrumental break)
F G C
Well, it's hard to find a label
Am F
for this feeling in my bones.
Dm G C
That this is all a make-believe
C F G C
but my cards are on the table
E E7 F
and there ain't nothing up my sleeve.
Dm Dm/E F F
And here I thought I was a thinking man
Am D7
but I'm a shrinking man, I'm sinking man,
Gsus G Gsus G C
I'm fa-ding, fading away.
Am D7 Gsus-G G C
Well, it's really not so bad to be fa-ding a-way.
Am D7 Gsus-G G C
Come on along with me and we'll go fa-ding a-way.
Am D7 Gsus-G G C
You can hardly even hear me because I'm fa-ding a-way.
