Well Dsomething like an open whiskey bottle,
GBurns to watch you walk across the floor
BmiWell I sold my shit, I'm leavin' Colorado;A  
GI don't think I'll miss it anymore
But she Dcalled to say she's sorry for her leavin'
I Atold her "I miss her" through the phone
But wheBmin these things , well, they happen for a reason A-
GI don't think I'm seein' it at all
Just help me Bmifade , fade aAway     D  Gtonight...
Fade away tonDight
DIt's time we'll find us both exiting as strangers
GBurn away before our time is through.
You was Bmiwild and you was free,
You was Atrue, you gave up Dall our dreams,
now Gall that I could think about is you
But we Dboth know I never was no good man.
Well I aAlways told you, honey, I was cursed.
But I sBmihould've learned to put this fuckin' guitar down,A

For BmiMe to Abe aGround it,
So I Ddid my best to Ajust stay somewhere Gelse.
But when AI come back around...
It always Gbreaks my goddamn heart...
To see you Bmiout with your new Aman,
in the Gbooth that we called Dours.
To see Bmiyou out with your new Aman,

Everything was Bmibeautiful, Anothing GhurtD.
Everything was Bmibeautiful, Anothing GhurtD.
Everything was Bmibeautiful, Anothing GhurtD.
Everything was Bmibeautiful, Anothing Dhurt.

[Intro]

D G Bmi A G

Well something like an open whiskey bottle,

Burns to watch you walk across the floor

Bmi A

Well I sold my shit, I'm leavin' Colorado;

I don't think I'll miss it anymore

But she called to say she's sorry for her leavin'

I told her "I miss her" through the phone

Bmi A

But when these things , well, they happen for a reason -

I don't think I'm seein' it at all

Bmi A D G

Just help me fade , fade away tonight...

Fade away tonight

It's time we'll find us both exiting as strangers

Burn away before our time is through.

Bmi

You was wild and you was free,

A D

You was true, you gave up all our dreams,

now all that I could think about is you

But we both know I never was no good man.

Well I always told you, honey, I was cursed.

Bmi A

But I should've learned to put this fuckin' guitar down,

and buy the wedding ring we both know you deserved.

D A G

But when I don't know a goddamn thing about it,

D A G

Well I probably oughta learn to shut my mouth.

D A

It just hurt so goddamn bad,

Bmi A G

For Me to be around it,

D A G

So I did my best to just stay somewhere else.

But when I come back around...

It always breaks my goddamn heart...

Bmi A

To see you out with your new man,

G D

in the booth that we called ours.

Bmi A

To see you out with your new man,

in the booth that we called ours.

Bmi A G D

Everything was beautiful, nothing hurt.

Bmi A G D

Everything was beautiful, nothing hurt.

Bmi A G D

Everything was beautiful, nothing hurt.
