[Verse 1]
G            C       G
I am now the one she left
  C                        G
A haunted tale for someone else
  C                   G
A little bit about herself
    D2            G
Wherever she is sleeping
G                    C          G
Flint strikes out to pierce the dark
C                           G
Cause a flame from just one spark
C                           G
Fill the room with smoke so harsh
D2             G
She exhales a memory

[Chorus]
            D2
The past is fadin'
                          Em              C
Over time, but it's still hangin' on for life

[Verse 2]
G           C       G
I'm now her used to be
C                     G
He is now the one she needs
C                      G
He is now the one she leans on
    D2                G
She looks out at the sunset
     G                C         G
On a quilt of rags he holds her tight
         C                         G
And they raise a toast of Bulleit Rye
C                           G
Whiskey kills all things in time
     D2                 G
Like things she don't remember

[Chorus]
            D2
The past is fadin'
                          Em              C
Over time, but it's still hanging on for life

[Verse 3]
G           C     G
I am now an old headstone
    C                      G
And to her grave I'll die alone
  C                      G
A testament of how she's grown
    D2            G
Wherever she is sleepin'

[Chorus]
            D2
The past is fadin'
                          Em              C
Over time, but it's still hanging on for life
