Chords

             G
Fell in love in high school

                              G
With a brown haired, green eyed girl

                       Em7
I walked her home most everyday

           C
Held her hand, I held the world

                    G
We made our plan to run away

                            G
I couldn't wait to share her life

                   Em7
We started countin down the days

             C                   G
She couldn't wait to be my wife
I got a job and bought a car
                G
I turned 18 that spring

                 Em7
By summer had my own place

       C
And I bought my baby's ring

                 G
Fell in with the wrong crowd

                         G
Breakin laws, I broke her heart

                 Em7
By autumn was in handcuffs

       C                          G
Baby's cryin out in her front yard

     D
And that's what hurt the most

  Em7                C
I saw it in her green eyes

               G
She had seen a ghost

               G
My mama saw me every week

                        G
Tried her hardest not to cry

                     Em7
She told me that she loved me

      C
Disappointment in her eyes

                 G
I said, "Mama, I love you too

                                G
And I'm gonna make you proud one day"

                 Em7
A month before I got out

             C               G
They told me mama passed away

     D
And that's what hurt the most

  Em7          C                    G
I saw it in her eyes, her son was a ghost

  Dsus              D
I hate this life I chose

Em7             C                  G
Long before she died her son was a ghost

            G
Now I got my freedom

                       G
But it feels like emptiness

                Em7
In front of the apartment

           C
Where your sister says you live

               G                          G
And there's another man, who fills my empty shoes

                     Em7
And darlin you don't see me

         C                            G
But you know that I see you, I drift off...
[Instrumental] C // G // C // G // C / D / G //
          G
I'm gonna fade away

                G
Beyond the city lights

           Em7
I'm gonna fade away

C
Through the emty night

           G
I'm gonna fade away

                 G
Drifting out your life

        Em7
I wanna fade away

C                       G
Through the empty night
