Roxette - Fading Like A Flower (Every Time You Leave)
-----------------------------------------------------
Trans. Ben Sinclair (ssusncla@rdg.ac.uk)
[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]
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
But when we meet it seems I can't let go
*
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

When I sleep I break down and cry... cry...yeah...
[Chorus]
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
But when we meet it seems I can't let go
*
Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading like a flower
Fading like a rose...
Fading like a rose...
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:
D: 10 12 12 -- -- --|
C: 8 10 10 -- -- --|
F: -- 8 10 10 -- --|
G: -- 10 12 12 -- --|
A: -- 12 14 14 -- --|

[Chorus] Sung with no guitar, then:
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
But when we meet it seems I can't let go
Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading like a
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
But when we meet it seems I can't let go
Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading like a flower
[Outro] With the bass playing the chorus:
(This sounds ok, but it's probably not how he plays it)
