Intro: G

Verse 1:
A            D       A
I am now the one she left
  D                        A
a haunted tale for someone else
   D                 A
a little bit about herself
  Esus2             A
Wherever she is sleeping
A                    D          A
Flint strikes out to pierce the dark
D                          A
Cause a flame from just one spark
D                           A
Fill the room with smoke so harsh
Esus2              A
She exhales a memory

Chorus:
            Esus2
The past is fadin'
                          Gbm              D
Over time, but it's still hangin' on for life

Verse 2:
A           D      A
I'm now her used to be
D                     A
He is now the one she needs
D                      A
He is now the one she leans on
    Esus2                  A
She looks out at the sunset
 A                     D         A
On a quilt of rags he holds her tight
        D                 A
And they raise a toast of Bulleit Rye
D                           A
Whiskey kills all things in time
     Esus2                 A
Like things she don't remember

Chorus:
            Esus2
The past is fadin'
                          Gbm              D
Over time, but it's still hanging on for life

Verse 3:
A           D    A
I am now an old headstone
    D                      A
And to her grave I'll die alone
  D                       A
a testament of how she's grown
   Esus2             A
Wherever she is sleepin'

Chorus:
            Esus2
The past is fadin'
                          Gbm              D
Over time, but it's still hanging on for life
