[Intro]
Am C G F
[Verse 1]
Be Amcareful little eyes what you Csee
It’s the Gsecond glance that ties your hands as Dmdarkness pulls the strings
Be Amcareful little feet where you Cgo
For it’s the Glittle feet behind you that are Dmsure to follow
[Chorus]
It’s a Amslow fade when you Ggive yourself away
It’s a Dmslow fade when Fblack and white have turned to gray
AmThoughts invade, Gchoices are made, a Cprice will be paid
When you Fgive yourself away
DmPeople never crumble in a Gday
It’s a Amslow faCde, it’s a Gslow faFde
[Verse 2]
Be Amcareful little ears what you Chear
When Gflattery leads to compromise, the Dmend is always near
Be Amcareful little lips what you Csay
For Gempty words and promises lead Dmbroken hearts astray
[Chorus]
It’s a Amslow fade when you Ggive yourself away
It’s a Dmslow fade when Fblack and white have turned to gray
AmThoughts invade, Gchoices are made, a Cprice will be paid
When you Fgive yourself away
DmPeople never crumble in a Gday
[Bridge]
The Dmjourney from your mind to your Fhands
Is shorter than you’re thinAmkingG  
Be Dmcareful if you think you stFand
You just might be sinCkinFg
[Instrumental]
Am C G Dm
[Chorus]
It’s a Amslow fade when you Ggive yourself away
It’s a Dmslow fade when Fblack and white have turned to gray
AmThoughts invade, Gchoices are made, a Cprice will be paid
When you Fgive yourself away
DmPeople never crumble in a Gday
DmDaddies never crumble in a Gday
DmFamilies never crumble in a Fday
[Outro]
Oh be Amcareful little eyes what Csee
Oh be Gcareful little eyes what you Fsee
For the AmFather up above is lCooking down in love
Oh be Gcareful little eyes what you Csee

The story behind the song

"Slow Fade" is a cautionary tale, written after the public falls from grace of several church leaders. The song explores how no one truly "falls" from grace, but rather experiences a "slow fade" through a series of minor compromises. It's about how these small, seemingly insignificant choices can lead a person to a place they never intended to be, doing things they never thought they would do, all while rationalizing their actions. The song serves as a powerful reminder for believers to guard their relationship with God, emphasizing that without careful attention, one risks a "crash and burn." It plays as a heartfelt plea for vigilance and integrity in daily choices.
