Black Stone Cherry - Fade Away

it’s easier to play this song 1 full step down so those will be the chords i use but
i’ll also list the ones you would use in standard tuning at the bottom .

[ verse 1 ]

G F
if i died today , i wonder what you’d say
C Am
would you criticize my life , or smile and wave goodbye?
G F
if i died today , would you be afraid?
C Am
would you be thankful for our time , or would you hang your head and cry?
Em D G
cuz girl i know it could go either way

[ chorus ]

G F
baby baby don’t you love me?
C Am
all your tears wont change your past
Em D G
they’ll only drown the smiles on your face
G F C Am
and maybe baby all that we had , was never ever meant to last
Em D G
so let me go , but don’t you let me fade away

[ verse 2 ]

G F
if you close a door , swim for the shore
C Am
walk straight into the sun and let the healing horses run
Em D G
cuz it won’t do you any good to bleed
Em D G
another tear over what became of me

[ chorus ]
G F
baby baby don’t you love me?
C Am
all your tears wont change your past
Em D G
they’ll only drown the smiles on your face
G F C Am
and maybe baby all that we had , was never ever meant to last
Em D G
so let me go , but don’t you let me fade away

[ bridge ]

Em G
when he holds you in his arms , and your laying in my bed
Em G
does he turn you on , the way that i did?

[ chorus ]

G F
baby baby don’t you love me?
C Am
all your tears wont change your past
Em D G
they’ll only drown the smiles on your face
G F C Am
and maybe baby all that we had , was never ever meant to last
Em D G
so let me go , but don’t you let me fade away
