 (Words & music by Per Gessle)


        Dm
In a time 
           Am               Dm
Where the sun descends alone, 
         F         C           Dm
I ran a long long way from home 
             Am                   G 
To find a heart that's made of stone. 

         Dm
I will try, 
         Am            Dm
I just need a little time
             F          C          Dm 
To get your face right out of my mind,
             Am                      G
To see the world through different eyes. 


F           Bb            Dm     C    
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away 
F        Bb                   C       F   
But when we meet it seems I can't let go.
F          Bb                     Dm     C              Bb
Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading like a flower. 


          Dm
Tell me why? 
         Am                 Dm
When i scream there's no reply, 
        F                 C            Dm
When i reach out there's nothing to find, 
         Am                     G           
When I sleep I break down and cry.


F           Bb            Dm     C    
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away 
F        Bb                   C       F   
But when we meet it seems I can't let go.
F          Bb                     Dm     C              Bb
Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading like a flower. 
 

C               Dm   C  F  
Fading like a rose, 
C               Dm   C  F  
Fading like a rose, 
C                Dm  C  F 
Beaten by the storm, 
G              A
Talking to myself, getting washed by the rain, 
                        Dm
It's such a cold cold town.

F           Bb            Dm     C    
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away 
F        Bb                   C       F   
But when we meet it seems I can't let go.
F          Bb                     Dm     C              Bb
Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading like a flower. 

G            C            Em          D
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
G           G            D            G
But when we meet it seems I can't let go.
