Roxette - Fading Like A Flower (Every Time You Leave)

A#
[Verse 1]
In a time where the sun descends alone
I ran a long long way from home
To find a heart that's made out of stone
I will try, I just need a little time
To get your face right out of my mind
To see the world through different eyes...
[Chorus]
F A# D C
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
F G A A# C F
But when we meet it seems I can't let go
F A# D C A# * C
Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading like a flower
* = With this played over the rhythm between the chords
after "flower"

When I reach out there's nothing to find

[Chorus]

Every time I see you oh I try to hide away

But when we meet it seems I can't let go
F A# D C A# * C
Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading like a flower
D C F
Fading like a rose...
G D C F
Fading like a rose...
G D C F
Beaten by the storm
G A ---(keep going)
Talking to myself, getting washed by the rain,
it's such a cold cold town
Where the D, C, F and G chords are muffled slightly.
And the chords used are these:
E A D G B e
D: 10 12 12 -- -- --
C: 8 10 10 -- -- --
F: -- 8 10 10 -- --
G: -- 10 12 12 -- --

[to fade]
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official ROXETTE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
