(the D7's start with a suspended 4th, except the the choruses) [intro] - Those days when our hearts - were big as the sun - Turn around with a smile - for everyone - That feeling's a memory funny how it fades away [link] - You won't see those pale grays - returning to blues - The colours will wash - out as I shrink in my shoes - And I won't always live & breathe Watch me as I fade away [chorus:] We wake in the morning and work all day We dress up in the evening with nothing to say Just like a candle burning bright - burning like forever then it fades away [link] - Who on this planet - would ever refuse - The chance of a life - time to love and lose? - When time is of no importance, have you seen it slip away? [chorus:] We wake in the morning and work all day We dress up in the evening with nothing to say Just like a candle burning bright - burning like forever then it fades away [chorus] We wake in the morning and work all day We dress up in the evening with nothing to say Just like a candle burning bright - burning like forever then it fades away [ending]
