            Am       G/B        C      C/E  F
All of the troubled times that we have overcome
            Am        G/B       C         C/E  F
All of the trials to find somewhere that we belong
       Am      G/B        C       C/E     F
All I know is that, with you, I'm holding on
                   F                    G
'Cause all of the days out, all of the days
            C
out on the run

Am         D              F                G
Don't you love it? How it all just fades away
Am          D                     F              G
When your clothes don't feel the songs of yesterday
      Dm7      Em7         Fmaj7    G6
And I can't go back, and I can't go back
Am         D
Don't you love it?
How it all, it all just fades away

Chorus:
Am G/B C C/E F   G6
              It all just fades away

All of the tracks we traced,
we raced to reach the sun
All of the lights to find a place where we belong
All I know is that, with you, I'm moving on
'Cause all of the days out,
all of the days out on the run

And I can't go back, and I can't go back
Don't you love it?
How it all, it all just fades away

Chorus:
It all just fades away
It all just fades away
It all just fades away
It all just fades away

And I can't go back and I can't go back
Don't you love it? How it all,
it all just fades away
