Bm          G
Late nights, are you sleepless too?
A          D
Wide awake in the starless blue
Bm         G
Staring up at the ceiling
        A              D
Do you feel what I'm feeling?

Little fights at the weekend do
You love me better when I'm not with you
We were built like concrete
I used to know your heartbeat

G                        Bm
The light has disappeared
                       G
The dust has settled here
                        G A
But still I want you near

Chorus:
                                D/F# G  A Bm
So I've been waiting for that slow fade
                      D/F#    G  A Bm
Kinda hoping that you won't stay
                       D/F# G
There's no color in us lately
          A          Bm
And it's too hard to say
            Em      D         A/C#
I've been praying that we'll lose our
 Bm       G   D
love in slow fade

Crazy how it was me and you
From the start of the sun and moon
Held each other through it
We were young and foolish

Now we're dancing like we're done
We found the end of the moon and sun
Was it always like this?
'Cause now it's always like this

The light has disappeared
The dust has settled here
But still I want you near, oh

Chorus:
So I've been waiting for that slow fade
Kinda hoping that you won't stay
There's no color in us lately
And it's too hard to say (It's too hard)
I've been praying that
we'll lose our love in slow fade

Maybe I'll find you again, maybe I won't
I think for now that it's best if we let it go
I hope you get all you want out of this life
Even if it's not with me by your side

Chorus:
So I've been waiting for that slow fade
Kinda hoping that you won't stay
There's no color in us lately
And it's too hard to say
I've been praying that
we'll lose our love in slow fade
I've been praying that
we'll lose our love in slow fade
