A Man Me Then Jim

intro:
C F C G C x2

verse:
  C
I had one friend in high school 
recently he hung himself with string
         F                     
His note said "If livin' is the 
                                   C
problem, well that's just baffling."

And at the wake I waited around to 
see my ex first love
        F                          
And I barely recognized her, but I 
                          C
knew exactly what she was thinking 
of
       G                    
We sat quietly in the corner 
 F                      C
whispering close about loss
        G                        
And I remembered why I loved her, 
       F                         C
and I asked her why I drove her off


chorus:
She said
    F    G       C
The slow fade of love
         F     G    C
Its soft edge might Cut you
        F            Em
And our poor friend, Jim
     C       G/B      F
Well he just lived within
         G       C
The slow fade of love

  C
A woman calls my house once a week; 
she's always selling things
     F                       
Some charity, a phone plan, a 
                       C
subscription to a magazine
         G                         
And as I turned her down, I always 
              F                    
do, there was something trembling 
      C
in her voice
        G                        
I said "Hey, what troubles you?", 
           F                    C
She said "I'm surprised you noticed"

verse:
        C
Well, my husband, he's leaving, and 
I can't convince him to stay
          F                     
and he'll take our daughter with 
                                  C
him, she wants to go with him anyway
    G                           
I'm sorry I'm hard to live with, 
F                          C
living is the problem for me
            G                      
I'm selling people things they 
      F                           
don't want when I don't know what 
C
you need

chorus:
            F    G       C
He said the slow fade of love
         F        G       C
and it's mist might choke you
        F       Em
It's my gradual descent
       C      G/B  F
Into a life I never meant
              G       C
It's the slow fade of love

verse:
      C
I was driving south of Melrose; I 
happened upon my old lover's old 
house
          F                        
I found myself staring at the 
closed up door like the day she 
    C
threw me out

"Dianna, Dianna, Dianna I would die 
for you
       F                           
I'm in love with you completely, 
                         C
I'm afraid that's all I can do"
                  G            
She said "You can sleep upon my 
                   F        
doorstep, you can promise me 
        C
indifference, Jim
       G                        
But my mind is made up, and I'll 
 F                      C
never let you in again"

Chorus:
        F    G       C
For the slow fade of love
        F       G     C
It might hit you from below
          F       Em
It's your gradual descent
       C        G/B  F
Into a life you never meant
              G       C
It's the slow fade of love

outro:

         F    G       C
It's the slow fade of love  x9 (I 
think it is about 9 time that you 
slow fade out)
