[Verse 1]
=========

 D G/C    G             G/C     G
 I seem to recognize your face

 D G/C      G                  G/C       G
 Haunting, familiar, yet i can't seem to place it

  D   G/C      G                   G/C         G
 Cannot find a candle of thought to light your name

 D  G/C       G               G/C   G
 Lifetimes are catching up with me



[Pre-Chorus 1]
==============

 C        A              C
 All these changes taking place

   A                C
 I wish i'd seen the place

      A            Em
 Where no ones ever taken me



[Chorus 1]
==========

 D         G/C            G       G/C   G
 Hearts and thoughts they fade ... fade away

 D         G/C            G       G/C   G
 Hearts and thoughts they fade ... fade away



[Verse 2]
=========

 D G/C      G             G/C     G
 I swear i recognize your breath

 D     G/C     G               G/C      G
 Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising

 D      G/C        G           G/C     G
 Me you wouldn't recall for i'm not my former

  D      G/C        G             G/C     G
 Its hard when your stuck upon the shelf



[Pre-Chorus 2]
==============

 C           A               C
 I changed by not changing at all

      A                C
 Small town predicts my fate

     A                    Em
 Perhaps thats what no one wants to see



[Verse 3]
=========

 D     G/C      G      G/C    G
 I just want to scream hello

 D G/C       G                 G/C            G
 My god, its been so long never dreamed you'd return

 D      G/C       G      G/C     G
 But now here you are and here i am

 D         G/C            G    G/C   G
 Hearts and thoughts they fade away



[Chorus 2]
==========

 D         G/C            G       G/C    G
 Hearts and thoughts they fade ... fade away

 D         G/C            G       G/C    G
 Hearts and thoughts they fade ... fade away

 D         G/C            G       G/C G
 Hearts and thoughts they fade ... away

 D         G/C            G       G/C    G
 Hearts and thoughts they fade ... fade away
