Garfunkel and Oates - The fade away

^CWe've been on a bunch of dates ^GI weigh debates that this creates And hate ^Fthat state of forced introspection ^{G C}We traded wit, we swapped some spit, ^GYou fingered me a little bit ^FBut we never really had a connection ^G

You did^F nothing wrong, I have no exc^Cuse ^{F C F}Just my intui^Ction telling me we shouldn't reproduce ^G

^CI know I have to end it ^GBut pretend to just suspend it By c^Fontending that I'm busy all week ^{G C}I let the foregone linger on ^GText back with an emoticon ^FWithdraw from you by being oblique^G

^FInside I kn^Cow my tactics ju^Fst delay it ^C But I'd do a^Fnything so I d^Con't have to say it ^G

^FI'll draw this out forever like it's Vi^Getnam Then one day I'll ^Fbe gone like Bambi's mom A^Gwww

Cause there's the right thing to ^Fdo ^C Then there's what I'm gonna do ^{F C} There's so muc^Fh I should say ^C But instead... ^GI do the fade away ^Am

Now I'm fading ^Glike chalk on a sidewalk ^C Or the polio virus^G after Jonas Salk ^C Like a Jew^Gish guy at Arby's on Yom Kippur ^{C Am}The Whig party post Millard Fillmore

^GThe erection of a man on antidepressants ^C The ca^Gst of Diff'rent Strokes after adolescence ^{C G}Reproductive rights below the Mason Dixo^Cn ^AmNative Americans after the barter systems

^DmYour thyroid gland after Hashimo^Gto ^DmThe family in the Back to the Futur^De photo ^AmYeah I fade away

^CWe say that men are asshole who don't comm^Gunicate We reve^Fl in our victimhood and amplify our hate ^G We find ways^C to be indignant like it's a sport ^G Then dissect their malig^Fnance with the views we distort ^G

^FThe way men break up may ^Cbe sloppy and ters^Fe ^C What they ^Fdo is bad, but what we^C do is worse ^G

We pret^Cend to ourselves it's the nice thi^Gng to do To let^F you down gently by just not fuc^Gking telling you And deep^C down we know it's the worst way to play^G it But we are wh^Fat we have... huge pussies ^G

And wome^Gn are hypocrites ^{C G}Especially ones in comed^Cy bands ^GWe see your faults but not our o^Cwn ^AmThen we wonder why we're all alone

^FWe fill you up with mayb^Ce's, excu^Fses and stalls ^{C F}But like a baby in China... it's be^Gtter to have balls

Not the Goo^Fd Wife type like Christine Baranski ^G So I'll pu^Fll out and leave like I'm Roman Polans^Gki

Cause there's the right ^Fthing to do ^C Then there's what I'm gonna do ^{F C} There's so much I sh^Fould say ^C But ins^Gtead... I do the fade away ^Am

Like Verba^Gl Kint fading into Kaiser Soze ^C The rig^Ghts in Arizona for a guy named Jose ^{C G}Opportunities for a college grad^{C Am}The love between your mom and dad ^GGonna Peter out like a gay Cetera^{C G}Iranian relations since the Rega^Cn era ^GBlack Nike sales after Heaven's Gate ^{C Am}Summer Camp attendance at Penn State

The name^Dm Adolph after World War Two ^G Like Deb^Dmbie Gibson's pop career, Out of ^Dthe Blue ^AmYeah I fade away Cause I don't wa^Gnna get to know you ^C I just want to blow yo^Gu... off ^C
