When We Fade Away

[G]If you try to catch me, you'll be the first to los[Em]e     [D]
[G]Freedom can be lonely, loneliness makes me think  [Em]        [D]
[G]Still I'd rather (be on) my own, then put into a c[Em]age   [D]
So if y[G]ou try to catch me, I'm already far awa[Em]y...  [D]
I'm far a[G]way, I'm far away..

[C]I am a dream you [G]cannot catch, I am your d[C]ream I can never [D]be
We fade a[C]way when ladybirds get [G]paid, we fade a[C]way when ladybirds turn [D]gray

Not even [G]you can bring life back from death tw[Em]ice   [D]
My ey[G]es are tired of trying to stay dry on rainy [Em]days [D]
I can[G]'t read your mind, even less can you read mi[Em]ne   [D]
Can y[G]ou read mine...Can you read mine?

[C]I am a dream you [G]cannot catch, I am your d[C]ream I can never [D]be
We fade a[C]way when ladybirds get [G]paid, we fade a[C]way when ladybirds turn [D]gray

The f[G]reckles on the lips seem too much too resist
wondering [Em]why they were st[D]uck on my mind
I rubbed and [G]scraped day after day just to get them away
it struck me [Em]down, now [D]I don't know why

[G]my lips are marked with freckles all over
my [Em]lips are marked with freckles all over...All over

2x):
[C]I am a dream you [G]cannot catch, I am your d[C]ream I can never [D]be
We fade a[C]way when ladybirds get [G]pale, we fade a[C]way when ladybirds turn [D]gray
