Verse:

D Cadd9   G              Cadd9   G/B
I seem to recognize your face
D   Cadd9 G/B                   Cadd9   G/B   G
Haunting, familiar, yet I can't seem to place it
D      Cadd9    G/B                  Cadd9      G/B    G
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
D   Cadd9     G/B              Cadd9   G/B
Lifetimes are catching up with me
C         A              C
All these changes taking place
  A                 C         A             Em
I wish I'd seen the place but no one's ever taken me


Chorus:

D          Cadd9         G/B  Cadd9 G/B   G
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
D          Cadd9         G/B  Cadd9 G/B   G
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away


2nd Verse:

D Cadd9   G/B            Cadd9   G/B 
I swear I recognize your breath
D       Cadd9  G/B               Cadd9  G/B     G
Memories, like fingerprints, are slowly raising
D      Cadd9      G/B          Cadd9  G/B G
Me you wouldn't recall for I'm not my former
D           Cadd9   G/B            Cadd9   G/B 
It's hard when your stuck upon the shelf
C            A               C
I changed by not changing at all
      A                C
Small town predicts my fate
   A                       Em
Perhaps that's what no one wants to see
D      Cadd9   G/B        Cadd9   G/B 
I just want to scream, hello
D  Cadd9   G/B                 Cadd9         G/B G 
My god its been so long, never dreamed you'd return
D       Cadd9    G/B     Cadd9  G/B 
But now here you are and here I am
D          Cadd9         G/B   Cadd9   G/B 
Hearts and thoughts they fade away


Chorus:

D          Cadd9         G/B  Cadd9 G/B   G
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
D          Cadd9         G/B  Cadd9 G/B   G
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
D          Cadd9         G/B  Cadd9  G/B  G
Hearts and thoughts they fade, a  -  way
D          Cadd9         G/B  Cadd9 G/B  
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
D          Cadd9         G/B  Cadd9 G/B   G
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
D          Cadd9         G/B  Cadd9 G/B   G
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
D          Cadd9
Hearts and thoughts they...
