D C       G              C    G
I seem to recognize your face
D   C       G                   C       G  
Haunting, familiar, yet I can't seem to place it
D      C        G                    C          G 
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
D   C         G                C   G
Lifetimes are catching up with me

C         A              C
All these changes taking place,
  A                 C
I wish I'd seen the place
    A             Em
But no one's ever taken me

D          C             G     C     G
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away... (x2) 

D C       G              C      G
I swear I recognize your breath
D     C       G                C      G
Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
D      C          G   
Me you wouldn't recall
        C      G
For I'm not my former
D         C           G              C      G
It's hard when you're stuck upon the shelf

C            A               C               
I changed by not changing at all
      A                C
Small town predicts my fate
   A                       Em
Perhaps that's what no one wants to see

D      C       G           C    G
I just want to scream...hello...
D  C        G                   C             G
My God it's been so long, never dreamed you'd return
D       C        G        C      G
But now here you are, and here I am
D          C             G       C     G
Hearts and thoughts they fade...away...

D          C             G     C     G
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away... (repeat to end)
