Em  D  F  C  B7  E7

[Verse 1]
Em
Trace patterns to see
               D
If we're just rewriting history
    F           C           B7      E7
The die, it was cast long ago
  Em
A carbon copy we could have been
             D
Buried under files that won't be seen
    F           C           B7      E7
The die, it was cast long ago

[Chorus]

Em                         D
Everybody seems content to fade away
F             C                 B7     E7
Oh, you got it, don't shut it away

[Verse 2]

Em
Something once mattered to me
            D
But it's forgotten so conveniently
   F      C                 B7     E7
Is it the end of the family line?
Em
A carbon copy I could have been
                       D
Don't you know I never settled for the in-between
    F           C          B7     E7
The die, it was cast long ago

[Chorus]

Em                         D
Everybody seems content to fade away
F            C                 B7     E7
Oh you got it, don't shut it away
