Verse: 
  A       D 
Sunday matinee 
              A 
In a one dog town 
                  D 
You're two seats away 
                  A 
I move two seats down 
                          D 
Wipe the tears from your eyes 
                   A 
The first kiss I stole 
            D 
I walk you home 
             A 
The credits roll 
 
 
 
          D 
Fade to black 
          A 
Fade to black 
          D 
Fade to black 
          A 
Fade to black 
 
 
I hear my voice 
On the telephone 
But I'm just running 
The same old business 
I feel like I'm off 
Somewhere so alone 
Just watching us both 
Running the distance 
Watching us both 
Slowly pull back 
 
Fade to black 
Fade to black 
Fade to black 
 
I come home 
Clothes all over the place 
You're crying in the corner 
Makeup running down your face 
Your case is packed 
The fight starts 
I end up cursin' 
Baby is this the scene 
Which we been rehearsin' 
Is this the one 
Or have I lost track 
Waitin' for us 
To fade to black 
 
Fade to black 
Fade to black 
Fade to black 
 
A face wet with shame 
Eyes filled with hurt 
I scream out your name 
You rip my shirt 
 
A small bungalow 
A late afternoon 
The sunlight falls 
Like a bright veil 
A camera pans 
An empty room 
The picture dissolves 
Slowly pulls back 
 
Fade to black 
Fade to black 
Fade to black
