1. It's K-Mart, the bathroom, I'm staring in the mirror,
G
D
Em
C
the green lights are bright, it makes the lines clearer.

Em
C
Where did the angels go, cigarette smoke's all that's left,
G

I've traded my wings in for a string of pearls,
Em

2. The light bulbs burn so much, someone's in the stall,
G
D
Em
C
big white brick wall, makes me feel small.
G
D
Em
C
And I I take my shirt off, looking for a glimpse of flesh,
G
D
Em
C
I peel back the concrete, I hope there's still some soil left.
G
D
Em
C
'Cause I am fading, I am fading, I am fading away.
G
D
Em
C
I am fading, just like fairy tales, when the hero loses faith.

3. The air smells like urine, it's getting hard to breeze,
G
D
Em
C
I could walk out that door, but no one ever really leaves.
G
D
Em
C
And I I take all my clothing off, trying not to forget,
G
D
oh, stupid things like the color of rain,
Em
C
and the smell of stone when it's wet.

And I am naked in the mirror with a feather in my hand,
C
Em
the lady comes out of the bathroom,
Bb
screaming, "Oh, Jesus!" Like I was a man.
A

And I ask her "Hey, what happens to us,
Em
C
when we get old and in the way?"
G
D
Em
C
I guess she answered me, 'cos they, they took me away.
G
D
Em
C
And I am fading, I am fading, I am fading away.
G
D
Em
C
I am fading, just like fairy tales, when the hero loses faith.
G
D
And I can't remember, why or when,
Em
C
I hope that I'll remember again.
