Fading Echoes
Nirvana

G                     Em
Every day feels like a shadow
C                     D
I'm a ghost in my own home
G                     Em
Tired eyes behind this window
C                     D
Watchin' this world, feelin' so alone

G                     Em
Oh, I'm just a fading echo
C            D
In a life I can't control
G                     Em
Lost my way, can't find my rainbow
C             D
Happiness, an elusive goal

G                     Em
Seventeen and feelin' empty
C                    D
Don't know what I'm fightin' for
G                      Em
Every smile feels so damn heavy
C                           D
Can’t remember what it's like to soar

G                     Em
Oh, I'm just a fading echo
C            D
In a life I can't control
G                     Em
Lost my way, can't find my rainbow
C             D
Happiness, an elusive goal

Am                      C
In the night, I hear the silence
G                      F
Drownin' in my sorrow's sea
Am                      C
Wishing for some kind of guidance
G                      D
For someone to come and rescue me

G                     Em
Oh, I'm just a fading echo
C            D
In a life I can't control
G                     Em
Lost my way, can't find my rainbow
C             D
Happiness, an elusive goal

G                   Em
If I could just see the sunrise
C                  D
Feel the warmth on my face
G                      Em
Maybe then, I'd find the courage
C                  D
To break free from this dark place

G                     Em
Oh, I'm just a fading echo
C                  D
In a world so cold and mean
G                      Em
But I'll keep on searchin', hopin'
C                  D
For a glimpse of what joy means
