Am 
They cut down the tree where I used to read 
D7 
My name was carved in it 
Am 
Couldn't they see it was a cherished thing 
E 
Why'd they have to get rid of it? 


  Am                          E 
I wonder what they're gonna replace it with 
  Am                 E 
I wonder what will become of it 


D7      Am 
Fading away 
    D7      Am 
I'm fading away 
               E               G         Am 
Seems like the whole world has forgotten me 


Am  E     Am         E 
Hey world I'm losing all thought 
       Am              E 
You've already took my memories 
Am                     E 
Couldn't you give them back to me 

          Am           E 
Or do you just want me to 


D7      Am 
Fading away 
    D7      Am 
I'm fading away 
               E               G         Am 
Seems like the whole world has forgotten me 


(D7  E, G, Am) 


  Am                          D7 
I found myself in the dark outside 
Am                         D7 
It's like I am blind every way looks the same 
Am           E 
Every step I make 
Am                 E 
Winds me up in the same place 
Am           E 
Every turn I make 
Am                 E 
Winds me up in the same place 

          Am   E 
One could say 

    D7      Am 
I'm fading away 
    D7      Am 
I'm fading away 
               E               G         Am 
Seems like the whole world has forgotten me
