Fell in love Gin high school
With a brown haired, green eyeGd girl
I walked her home most Em7everyday
Held her haCnd, I held the world
We made our plan to Grun away
I couldn't wait to share her Glife
We started countin Em7down the days
She couldn't Cwait to be my wifeG  
I got a job and bought a car
I turned 18 that Gspring
By summer had my Em7own place
And I bCought my baby's ring
Fell in with the Gwrong crowd
Breakin laws, I broke her Gheart
By autumn was in Em7handcuffs
Baby's Ccryin out in her front yardG  
And tDhat's what hurt the most
I Em7saw it in her green Ceyes
She had seen a Gghost
My mama saw me Gevery week
Tried her hardest not to Gcry
She told me that she Em7loved me
DisappCointment in her eyes
I said, "Mama, I Glove you too
And I'm gonna make you proud one Gday"
A month before I Em7got out
They told me Cmama passed awayG  
And tDhat's what hurt the most
I Em7saw it in her Ceyes, her son was a Gghost
I Dsushate this life I cDhose
Em7Long before she Cdied her son was a Gghost
Now I got my Gfreedom
But it feels like emptiGness
In front of the Em7apartment
Where your Csister says you live
And there's anoGther man, who fills my emptGy shoes
And darlin you don't Em7see me
But you kCnow that I see you, I drift oGff...
[Instrumental]
 C//  G//  C//  G//  C/  D/  G//
I'm gonna Gfade away
Beyond the city Glights
I'm gonna fEm7ade away
CThrough the emty night
I'm gonna fGade away
Drifting out your Glife
I wanna Em7fade away
CThrough the empty nightG

Fell in love in high school

With a brown haired, green eyed girl

Em7

I walked her home most everyday

Held her hand, I held the world

We made our plan to run away

I couldn't wait to share her life

Em7

We started countin down the days

C G

She couldn't wait to be my wife

I got a job and bought a car

I turned 18 that spring

Em7

By summer had my own place

And I bought my baby's ring

Fell in with the wrong crowd

Breakin laws, I broke her heart

Em7

By autumn was in handcuffs

C G

Baby's cryin out in her front yard

And that's what hurt the most

Em7 C

I saw it in her green eyes

She had seen a ghost

My mama saw me every week

Tried her hardest not to cry

Em7

She told me that she loved me

Disappointment in her eyes

I said, "Mama, I love you too

And I'm gonna make you proud one day"

Em7

A month before I got out

C G

They told me mama passed away

And that's what hurt the most

Em7 C G

I saw it in her eyes, her son was a ghost

I hate this life I chose

Long before she died her son was a ghost

Now I got my freedom

But it feels like emptiness

In front of the apartment

Where your sister says you live

And there's another man, who fills my empty shoes

Em7

And darlin you don't see me

C G

But you know that I see you, I drift off...
