Fade Away

Composed with Brian Sullivan

VERSE 1
What do you do, when there’s, someone, C C G G
Who can, do everything you do, but better? Am Am F F G

What do you do, when your last vestige of sanity, C C G G
Is removed, with the rug, from underneath your feet? Am Am F F G

So I sit here in this empty house, C C
Surrounded by these vacant walls, G G
Cheated by, society. Am Am F F G

I feel a need to do, something drastic, C C
Make a change, G G
Or finally fade away. Am Am F F G

VERSE 2
What do you do, when there’s, someone, C C G G
Who has, everything you want that matters? Am Am F F G

What do you do, when jealousy consumes you, C C G G
And green, becomes, the color of your mind? Am Am F F G

So here I sit in my empty mind,
Surrounded by these thoughts and find
I’m cheated by my situational awareness,
I can honestly say, in all fairness, that
The lies I’ve been told, growing old,
Stand up sit down FIGHT, FIGHT FIGHT
You got the right, but it’s all wrong
Kinda why I had to write this song

I feel a need to do, something drastic, C C
Make a change, G G
Or finally fade away. Am Am F F G

VERSE 3
What do you do, when there’s, someone, C C G G
Who is, everything you need and treasure? Am Am F F G
(What do you do, when there’s, someone,
Who is, everything you need and treasure?)

What do you do, when frustration drowns you, C C G G
And every move, you take, makes waves? Am Am F F G
(What do you do, when frustration drowns you,
And every move, you take, makes waves?)

So I sit here in my empty life, C C
Surrounded by this vacant heart, G G
Cheated by, circumstance. Am Am F F G

OUTRO 3x
I feel a need to do, something drastic, C C
Make a change, G G
Or finally fade away. Am Am F F G (3rd Time Stop After Change)
