Tom : Am
Am G
F E (4x)
[Verse 1]
Am G
She's like a frostfern in my head
F E
The lamplight burns my eyes and then she fades away
Am G
My pencil's frozen in my hand
F E
And the letter I can't write, it seems to be a desert without end
Am
I woke up late at night
G F
She called me up, then disappeared
E Am
And the echo of her voice
G
Filled the empty places in my dreams
[Refrão]
F E
With the silent tide
[Chorus]
Am G
She fades away again,
F E
ooh, she fades away
Am G
She fades away again
F E
Don't go now!
Am G F E
Please stay!
[Próxima Parte]
Am G F E
Am (4x)
[Verse 2]
Am G
My senses cruising through a void
F E
As pale reflections play on the deserted road
Am G
I hear the humming of machines
F
A distant sound like thunder
E
Crawling through the cold
Am G
There's no escape, I know
F E
I run around in circles without end
Am
And the more the memory grows
G
Dissolving from reality
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
F E
Don't make me cry!
Am G F E
[Outro 2x 2x]
Am G
This time I've got to learn
F E
I know she won't return
Am
Don't make me cry
G
Don't make me cry
F
Don't make me cry
E Am G
Don't make me cry
F E
Dont' make me, don't make me, don't make me
