A             G                                A                           D
Well now you say you've found another man who does things to you that I can't
     G                             A                   D
And that no matter what I do it's all over now between me and you girl
              G                                 A
But I can't believe what you say, no I can't believe what you say 'cause baby

G                      D
I don't wanna fade away
   G                      D
Oh I don't wanna fade away
             G                     D
Tell me what can I do what can I say
               A                   D
Cause darling I don't wanna fade away

             G
Well now you say that you've made up your mind 
      A                                      D
It's been such a long, long time since it's been good with us
           G                                A                    D
And that somewhere back along the line you lost your love and I lost your trust
                G                                       A
Now rooms that once were so bright are filled with the coming night, Darling

G                      D
I don't wanna fade away
   G                      D
Oh I don't wanna fade away
             G                     D
Tell me what can I do what can I say
               A                   D
Cause darling I don't wanna fade away


                  G       D
You say it's not easy for you
                        A   D
And that you've been so lonely
             G        D    G         D            A
While other girls go out doing what they want to do
                  G         D                      A   D
You say that you miss the nights when we'd go out dancing
 G             D       G   D        A
The days when you and I walked as two
              G
Well girl, I miss them too
      A
Oh I swear that I do

Oh girl

          G                     A                      D
Now baby I don't wanna be just another useless memory holding you tight
              G                                A
Or just some other ghost out on the street to whom you stop 
                    D                             G
And politely speak when you pass on by vanishing into the night
                 A
Left to vanish into the night, no baby

G                      D
I don't wanna fade away
   G                      D
Oh I don't wanna fade away
             G                     D
Tell me what can I do what can I say
               A                   D
Cause darling I don't wanna fade away

G                      D
I don't wanna fade away
   G                      D
Oh I don't wanna fade away
             G                     D
Tell me what can I do what can I say
               A                   D | G | D | G | D (fade out)
Cause darling I don't wanna fade away
