Amaj7         D
This is gonna hurt, kid
           Bm       E
You better hold on tight, you know
Amaj7         D
All those drugs you take
        Bm       E
Cannot help you save your soul
Amaj7         D
Smile a Sunday smile, kid
              Bm       E
You're fragile as a scene, you know
Amaj7         D
All those things you have
           Bm       E
Will not make you come undone


[Chorus]
C#m                     F#m          Dm               A
Tell me, tell me you'll be alright when you're in the shade
C#m                     F#m          Dm               A
Tell me, tell me you'll be alright when you start to fade


[Verse 2]
Amaj7           D
Who's your only friend, kid?
         Bm       E
There's no one else, you know
Amaj7           D
All those girls you love
            Bm        E
Doesn't mean you feel a thing


[Chorus]
C#m                     F#m          Dm               A
Tell me, tell me you'll be alright when you're in the shade
C#m                     F#m          Dm               A
Tell me, tell me you'll be alright when you start to fade


[Bridge]
C#m                      F#m
Softly sway, or have you lost your way?
               A
Well, I could give you a map
         Am                E
But you know you'd have to stay
          G#m                      Gm   F#m
You could quit the fight or you can say goodnight
            A
Well, if you think it's a joke
      Am                E
Then why do you always cry?


[Solo]
Amaj7 D Bm E (2x)

[Chorus]
C#m                     F#m          Dm               A
Tell me, tell me you'll be alright when you're in the shade
C#m                     F#m          Dm               A
Tell me, tell me you'll be alright when you start to fade


[Outro]
C#m
Have you heard?
                          E
The days are getting shorter
Amaj7                                               E
What will you do when your suntan is fading and the summer's gone?
               C#m
Do you feel afraid?
                         E
The days are getting shorter
Amaj7                                               E
What will you do when your suntan is fading and the summer's gone?
               C#m
Do you feel afraid?
                         E
The days are getting shorter
Amaj7                                                     E
What will you do when your suntan is fading and the summer's gone?
               C#m
Do you feel afraid?
                         E
The days are getting shorter
Amaj7                                                     E
What will you do when your suntan is fading and the summer's gone?
Amaj7
Will you fade away?
Amaj7
Will you fade away?
Amaj7
Will you fade away?
Amaj7
Will you fade away?
Amaj7             E
Will you fade away?
