Slow Fade

Am C G F


[Verse 1]

   Am                          C
Be careful little eyes what you see
         G                                     Dm
It’s the second glance that ties your hands as darkness pulls the strings
   Am                            C
Be careful little feet where you go
             G                               Dm
For it’s the little feet behind you that are sure to follow


[Chorus]

       Am                 G
It’s a slow fade when you give yourself away
       Dm             F
It’s a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Am               G                   C
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
         F
When you give yourself away
Dm                        G
People never crumble in a day
       Am     C          G      F
It’s a slow fade, it’s a slow fade


[Verse 2]

   Am                           C
Be careful little ears what you hear
     G                                 Dm
When flattery leads to compromise, the end is always near
   Am                           C
Be careful little lips what you say
    G                             Dm
For empty words and promises lead broken hearts astray


[Chorus]

       Am                 G
It’s a slow fade when you give yourself away
       Dm             F
It’s a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Am               G                   C
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
         F
When you give yourself away
Dm                        G
People never crumble in a day


[Bridge]

    Dm                             F
The journey from your mind to your hands
                           Am  G
Is shorter than you’re thinking
   Dm                         F
Be careful if you think you stand
                     C  F
You just might be sinking


[Instrumental]

Am C G Dm


[Chorus]

       Am                 G
It’s a slow fade when you give yourself away
       Dm             F
It’s a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Am               G                   C
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
         F
When you give yourself away
Dm                        G
People never crumble in a day
Dm                         G
Daddies never crumble in a day
Dm                          F
Families never crumble in a day


[Outro]

      Am                       C
Oh be careful little eyes what see
      G                            F
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
        Am                  C
For the Father up above is looking down in love
      G                            C
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
