Introduction:

difficulty
very easy |||||
     C 
I had one friend in high school recently he hung himself with string
                   F                                                                                                               C 
His note said "If livin' is the problem, well that's just baffling."
And at the wake I waited around to see my ex first love
                 F                                                                                                       C 
And I barely recognized her, but I knew exactly what she was thinking of
               G                                         F                                           C 
We sat quietly in the corner whispering close about loss
                 G                                                             F                                                 C 
And I remembered why I loved her, and I asked her why I drove her off
She said
         F       G             C 
The slow fade of love
                   F         G       C 
Its soft edge might Cut you
                 F                       Em 
And our poor friend, Jim
           C             G/B           F 
Well he just lived within
                   G             C 
The slow fade of love
     C 
A woman calls my house once a week  she's always selling things
           F                                                                                           C 
Some charity, a phone plan, a subscription to a magazine
                   G                                                                             F                                                   C 
And as I turned her down, I always do, there was something trembling in her voice
                 G                                                                     F                                       C 
I said "Hey, what troubles you?", She said "I'm surprised you noticed"
                 C 
Well, my husband, he's leaving, and I can't convince him to stay
                     F                                                                                                             C 
and he'll take our daughter with him, she wants to go with him anyway
         G                                                     F                                                   C 
I'm sorry I'm hard to live with, living is the problem for me
                         G                                                       F                                                     C 
I'm selling people things they don't want when I don't know what you need
                         F       G             C 
He said the slow fade of love
                   F               G             C 
and it's mist might choke you
                 F             Em 
It's my gradual descent
               C           G/B   F 
Into a life I never meant
                             G             C 
It's the slow fade of love
             C 
I was driving south of Melrose  I happened upon my old lover's old house
                     F                                                                                                                       C 
I found myself staring at the closed up door like the day she threw me out
"Dianna, Dianna, Dianna I would die for you
               F                                                                                                       C 
I'm in love with you completely, I'm afraid that's all I can do"
                                     G                                                             F                               C 
She said "You can sleep upon my doorstep, you can promise me indifference, Jim
               G                                                 F                                           C 
But my mind is made up, and I'll never let you in again"
                 F       G             C 
For the slow fade of love
                 F             G         C 
It might hit you from below
                     F             Em 
It's your gradual descent
               C               G/B   F 
Into a life you never meant
                             G             C 
It's the slow fade of love
                   F       G             C 
It's the slow fade of love   x9 (I think it is about 9 time that you slow fade out)
Hope this is helpful! Let me know if you have any questions.
