Fade Away By Jeff Gilpin
March 9th, 2008
Verse 1
[D]Fade away
I don’t want to [A]fade away
Like an old coat that’s [G]put away
For a [A]rainy day
That never [D]comes [A]
Verse 2
But [D]to be fair
I don’t want to be [A]always there
In the spotlight or [G]on the air
I [A]just don’t care
For that type of [D]life
Chorus
But [G]how to [A]find the [D]middle
Somewhere be[G]tween where I’m [A]needed and I’m [Bm]not
[G]That is my [A]own private [D]riddle
To [A]not be overused or left to [G]rot
Verse 3
[D]Figure out
What betwixt and be[A]tween’s about
Maybe it’s of [G]no amount
Not [A]worth a shout
Or plea for [D]help [A]
Verse 4
[D]Grinding down
Sharpening what has [A]become round
While more falls [G]on the ground
Could [A]lose my crown
Or my [D]throne
Chorus
But [G]how to [A]find the [D]middle
Somewhere be[G]tween where I’m [A]needed and I’m [Bm]not
[G]That is my [A]own private [D]riddle
To [A]not be overused or left to [G]rot
Verse 5
[D]So I sigh
Without an [A]alibi
Must be guilty [G]so I try
To find the [A]reasons why
I seem to [D]fade [A]
Verse 6
[D]Fade away
I guess what I’m [A]trying to say
I must get stronger [G]or one day
I’ll [A]fade away
To obli[D]vion
Chorus
[G]I’ll try and [A]find that [D]middle
Where I’m [G]needed but [A]I’m not over [Bm]done
I’ll [G]try my [A]best to keep [D]focused
On [A]working hard [G]but still having [D]fun
