When I got something to say

Don’t I always let you know

So that you and I can go my way

Forev – –ver

And if I get carried away

I could sailing on a song

And maybe we could carry on

Forev – – ver

But lately this old dog

Has been cha – - sing his tail

Round and round and round

And the circles in my mind

They have been winding slowly Down

Everybody’s bree - – zing up,

But I’m seizing up

I’m freezing up

And I’m fading, fading a – – way.

Well, I got a on a night in June

I got room for you and me

I got moonlight up in the trees

I got sixty-eight de – – grees

I got nothing on my mind

But I got loving in my heart

And I got something out in the garden

I want to show

Well, it doesn’t really matter after – – all

If we quit this round – – about

‘Cause no one will really no – – tice

If we just sit this next one out

Well, you can strike up the band with – – out me

You may have your doubts about me

But I’m just fading a – – way

You can hardly even see me

‘Cause I’m fading away.

Solo

Well, it’s hard to find a la – bel,

For this feeling in my bones.

If this is all a make be – – lieve,

But my cards are on the table

And there ain’t nothing up my sleeve .

And here I thought I was a thinking man

But I’m a shrinking man

I’m sinking man

And I’m fading, I’m fading away

Well, it’s really not so bad to be fading a – – way

C’mon along with me and we’ll go fading away

You can hardly even hear me

‘Cause I’m fading away
