C#m           F#m              C#m
A smile could crack this angry face
            F#m              C#m
The endless days the endless ways
             F#m                C#m
This tension fills up the empty space
          F#m
I wait in vain
      A        F#m
Fade away away away
      C#m       F#m
Fade away away away
        A        F#m   F#m/E
I fade away away away

             C#m                                A
No you’ll never know what you’ve got until it's gone (its wasted, it's wasted)
E                                               B
And when it's gone well you know it’s gone forever
                          C#m
When you take the long goodbye
                               A
No one here ever says they all move on (its wasted, it's wasted)
E                                               D

When you take the long goodbye

C#m           F#m         C#m
And as the flower slowly dies
            F#m             C#m     
We find new ways of wasting time
             F#m               C#m
The question is what's left to try
            F#m
I watch the rain and
      A         F#m
Fade away away away
      C#m       F#m
Fade away away away
        A        F#m   F#m/E
I fade away away away
           C#m                                A
