D
i had one friend in high school 
recently he hung himself with string

his note said,

G                              
"If livin' is the problem, well, 
                  D
that's just baffling."

D
and at the wake i waited around to 
see my ex first love

G                                 
and i barely recognized her, but i
                           D
 knew exactly what she was thinking 
of

A                          
we sat quietly in the corner 
  G                      D
whispering close about loss

A                                 
and i remembered why i loved her, 
    G                           D
and i asked her why i drove her off

          G         A       D
she said, "the slow fade of love

    G         A     D
its soft edge might cut you

G                    F#m7
and our poor friend, jim,

      D       A     G
well, he just lived within

G        A       D
the slow fade of love"

D
a woman calls my house once a week 
she's always selling things

G                           
some charity, a phone plan, a 
                       D
subscription to a magazine

       A                           
and as i turned her down, i always 
             G                     
do, there is something trembling in
     D
 her voice
         A                         
i said, "hey what troubles you?" 
     G                      D
she said "i'm suprised you noticed"

D
"well my husband, he's leaving, and 
i can't convince him to stay

          G                        
and he'll take our daughter with 
                              D
him she wants to go with him anyway

    A                           
i'm sorry i'm hard to live with, 
 G                          D
living is the problem for me

A                                 
i'm selling people things they 
        G                        
don't want when i don't know what 
   D
you need"

         G        A       D
he said "the slow fade of love

     G    A     D
it's mist might choke you

       G       F#m7
its my gradual decent

       D      A     G
into a life i never meant

        G    A       D
its the slow fade of love"
