A       D
Sunday matinee
              A
In a one dog town
                  D
You're two seats away
                  A
I move two seats down
                          D
Wipe the tears from your eyes
                   A
The first kiss I stole
            D
I walk you home
             A
The credits roll


Chorus:
          D
Fade to black
          A
Fade to black
          D
Fade to black
          A
Fade to black


I hear my voice
On the telephone
But I'm just running
The same old business
I feel like I'm off
Somewhere so alone
Just watching us both
Running the distance
Watching us both
Slowly pull back

Fade to black
Fade to black
Fade to black

I come home
Clothes all over the place
You're crying in the corner
Makeup running down your face
Your case is packed
The fight starts
I end up cursin'
Baby is this the scene
Which we been rehearsin'
Is this the one
Or have I lost track
Waitin' for us
To fade to black

Fade to black
Fade to black
Fade to black

A face wet with shame
Eyes filled with hurt
I scream out your name
You rip my shirt

A small bungalow
A late afternoon
The sunlight falls
Like a bright veil
A camera pans
An empty room
The picture dissolves
Slowly pulls back

Fade to black
Fade to black
Fade to black
