A
Drop a little weight of illusion
G                   C         Em
Take away the time, blow your mind
A
Only way to look is the top
    G                        C          Em
And maybe you're the crime I just can't find


[Chorus]
      G     C       G     Em
Don't fade away
Em
You're here to stay
      G    C       G     Em
Don't fade away


[Verse]
A
Succor someone out of their sleep
G                              C      Em
Baby you're the cream when the moment comes
A
Cover me and climb on my arms
G                     C      Em
You're the spirit of another day


[Chorus]
         G     C       G     Em
So don't fade away
Em
You're here to stay
      G     C       G     Em
Don't fade away
Em
You're mine, babe
      G     C       G     Em
Don't fade away
Em
You're here to stay
      G     C       G     Em
Don't fade away


[Solo]
C D Em x4


[Chorus]
      G     C       G     Em
Don't fade away
Em
You're here to stay
      G     C       G     Em
Don't fade away
Em
You're mine, babe
      G     C       G     Em
Don't fade away
Em
You're here to stay
      G     C       G     Em
Don't fade away
