Intro: 
C F C G C x2 

Verse: 
  C 
I had one friend in high school recently he hung himself with string 
         F                                                        C 
His note said "If livin' is the problem, well that's just baffling." 

And at the wake I waited around to see my ex first love 
        F                                                    C 
And I barely recognized her, but I knew exactly what she was thinking of 
       G                     F                      C 
We sat quietly in the corner whispering close about loss 
        G                               F                         C 
And I remembered why I loved her, and I asked her why I drove her off 



[Refrão]
She said 
    F    G       C   
The slow fade of love 
         F     G    C 
Its soft edge might Cut you 
        F            Em      
And our poor friend, Jim 
     C       G/B      F 
Well he just lived within 
         G       C 
The slow fade of love 


Verse: 

  C 
A woman calls my house once a week; she's always selling things 
     F                                              C 
Some charity, a phone plan, a subscription to a magazine 
         G                                       F                          C 
And as I turned her down, I always do, there was something trembling in her voice 
        G                                   F                    C 
I said "Hey, what troubles you?", She said "I'm surprised you noticed" 


Verse: 

        C 
Well, my husband, he's leaving, and I can't convince him to stay 
          F                                                       C 
and he'll take our daughter with him, she wants to go with him anyway 
    G                           F                          C 
I'm sorry I'm hard to live with, living is the problem for me 
            G                            F                           C 
I'm selling people things they don't want when I don't know what you need 




[Refrão]
            F    G       C 
He said the slow fade of love 
         F        G       C 
and it's mist might choke you 
        F       Em 
It's my gradual descent 
       C      G/B  F 
Into a life I never meant 
              G       C  
It's the slow fade of love

Verse: 
      C 
I was driving south of Melrose; I happened upon my old lover's old house 
          F                                                            C 
I found myself staring at the closed up door like the day she threw me out 

"Dianna, Dianna, Dianna I would die for you 
       F                                                    C 
I'm in love with you completely, I'm afraid that's all I can do" 
                  G                               F                C 
She said "You can sleep upon my doorstep, you can promise me indifference, Jim 
       G                         F                      C 
But my mind is made up, and I'll never let you in again" 



[Refrão]
        F    G       C 
For the slow fade of love 
        F       G     C 
It might hit you from below 
          F       Em 
It's your gradual descent 
       C        G/B  F 
Into a life you never meant 
              G       C 
It's the slow fade of love  

outro: 

         F    G       C 
It's the slow fade of love  x9 (I think it is about 9 time that you slow fade out)
