Verse: 
       G 
Is it time?  
              Em 
Time for the moving on 

           G 
Show me a sign,  
                Em 
Tell me you’re holding on 

     G 
You say that you hear me  

But I don’t believe it’s true 

       C 
I can see it in your eyes  

But our thoughts are misconstrued 

      G 
I’ve said it a thousand times  

And I’ll say it a thousand more 

      C 
I’ve loved you from the first time  

Now I love you even more 

              G 
Please don’t fade,  
       Em 
Fade away  

              G 
Please don’t fade,  
       Em 
Fade away 


Verse: 
       G 
It’s crazy how we try  

To hold on to the days 

      C 
When everything was promised  

And we’d always find a way 

    G 
To hold on to each other  

And dwell within the light 

     C 
Now all the sky is clouded  

And day has turned to night 

 
              G 
Please don’t fade,  
       Em 
Fade away  

              G 
Please don’t fade,  
       Em 
Fade away
