From the album 'Tonight and The Rest of My Life' by Nina Gordon
Transcription by Phil Gardner

Intro: G-C-G-C (x2)

Em                  G      Em                         A
And it feels like a movie, 'cause I've done something heavy,
C                B                   A
And now I'm all alone and you know I like it,
Em                 G     Em                A
Well I wish I were older, I could hold my liquor,
C                      B                   A
And then I'd blow your cover instead of my own.

              C             G     D                  A
'Cause there's nothing I can do to prove that I still love you,
     C               G                   D
And I think I hear my friends through the walls.

         G            C                 G            C
I'm gonna fade to black, think I'm gonna fade to black,
                      G           C
And I swear to god I'd take it back,
                           A                           C          G  C-G-C
But it's just no use what's done is done, I can't blame anyone but me.

Em          G                    Em                A
Everybody's out there without me, they're not even talking about me,
C                 B                        A
Flying out of the city and they don't even miss me.

           C             G     D                  A
But there's nothing I can do to prove that I still love you,
     C               G                   D
And I think I hear my friends through the walls.

         G            C                 G            C
I'm gonna fade to black, think I'm gonna fade to black,
                      G           C
And I swear to god I'd take it back,
                           A                           C          G  C
But it's just no use what's done is done, I can't blame anyone but me.

D    A7          C          D           A7             C
Four days in the haze of the biggest mistake I've ever made,
           Em          A7          G
And now I've got to get out of this place,
      C         G      C                 D
'Cause everybody knows, even the ones who don't.

G            C           G            C     G          C
Fade to black, I'm gonna fade to black, and say goodbye,
                           A                           C          G  C    G  C
But it's just no use what's done is done, I can't blame anyone but me, but me,
         G       C     G  C
I'm gonna fade to black.
