Verse 1: 0:17
      Dm
In a time
           Am            Dm
Where the sun descends alone,
         F          C        Dm
I ran a long, long way from home
           Am                    G
To find a heart that's made of stone.

Verse 2: 0:35
         Dm
I will try,
        Am            Dm
I just need a little time
             F         C          Dm
To get your face right out of my mind,
            Am                     G
To see the world through diff'rent eyes.

Chorus: 0:55
F                A#
  Ev'ry time I see you, oh
    Dm    C
I try to hide away,
F              A#
  But when we meet it seems
   C         F
I can't let go.
1:04
F                 A#
  Ev'ry time you leave the room
   Dm       C              A#   C
I feel I'm fading like a flower.

Verse 3: 1:12
          Dm
Tell me why
          Am                 Dm
When I scream there's no reply,
        F                 C          Dm
When I reach out there's nothing to find,
         Am                     G
When I sleep I break down and cry,
Cry, yeah.

[Chorus] 1:31 1:40

               Dm C | F G
Fading like a rose,
               Dm C | F G
Fading like a rose,
                Dm C | F G
Beaten by the storm,
2:02
              A
Talking to myself,
                       A
Getting washed by the rain,
                        Dm
It's such a cold, cold town.
F                 C          Dm
Ooh, it's such a cold, cold town.

I can't let go.
