[Intro] Dm Bb F x2 [Verse 1]
Dm              Bb             F
My dreams keep digging up the bones of memories,

Dm         Bb          F
Discarded remnants of former times,

Dm        Bb           F
Now every skeleton is slapping its knees,

Dm          Bb                    F   G
Laughing at the holes it left behind.
[Chorus]
F   G F
I try,

  G                   F
try to let it fade away,

              G
Let it fade away,

              F
Let it fade away

                 G
But I still hold on.
[Interlude] Dm Bb F x2 [Verse 2]
Dm         Bb            F
My body's aching like a knock-down drag-out,

Dm           Bb          F
And my poor heart is an open wound.

Dm           Bb              F
It's ancient history that's bleeding out of me,

Dm         Bb      F         G
So what am I supposed to do?
[Chorus]
F   G F
I try,

  G                   F
try to let it fade away,

              G
Let it fade away,

              F
Let it fade away

                 G
But I still hold on.
[Bridge]

[Outro]
              Dm
Let it fade away

Bb             F
Let it fade away

            Dm
Let it fade away

       Bb           F
Oh, I let it fade away
