Memories Fade
(Orzabal)
Transcribed by: Keith <SEIFERTK@NCCCOT2.AGR.CA>
Em
There's only need, I love your need,
   Am
So much I'm losing me.
   Em                           Am
I cannot see the reason for the pain.
     Em
With hungry joy, I'll be your toy,
     Am
Just hoping you will play,
   Em                               Am
Without the hope, my body starts to fail
Bm                    B
Memories fade but the scars still linger,
C
Goodbye my friend,
       Am
Will I ever love again,
Bm                    B                 C      Am
Memories fade but the scars still linger...    oh.....
(slide base E 5th fret down to open)
I cannot grow, I canot move,
I cannot feel my age,
The vice like grip of tension holds me fast,
Engulged by you, what can I do,
When history's my cage.
Look forward to a future in the past.
The more I talk, the more I say,
The less you seem to hear.
I'm speechless in a most peculiar way.
Your mind is weak, your need is great,
And nothing is too dear,
For you to use to take the pain away.
Memories fade,
No don't pretend you can justify the end,
Memories fade but the scars still linger
