Mazzy Star was an alternative / dream pop band founded in Los Angeles, CA, United States. They formed in 1989 from the group Opal, a collaboration of guitarist David Roback and bassist Kendra Smith. Roback's friend Hope Sandoval became the group's vocalist when Smith left the band.
Mazzy Star is probably most famous for their song "Fade Into You", which brought the band some success in the mid-1990s and was the group's biggest mainstream hit, earning extensive exposure on MTV, VH1, and radio airplay.

FADE INTO YOU (mazzy star) (A, E, Bm) I wanna hold the hand inside you I wanna take the breath that's true I look to you and I see nothing I look to you to see the truth You live your life, you go in shadows You'll come apart and you'll go blind Some kind of night into your darkness Colors your eyes with what's not there
chorus: Fade into you Strange you never knew Fade into you I think it's strange you never knew
(solo)
A stranger light goes on slowly A stranger's heart without a home You put your hands into your hair A million smiles cover your heart
(chorus 2x) fade...
HALAH (mazzy star) (C,G, F, C) Well I think I see another side Maybe you're just another light that shines And I look over now, thru the door And I still belong to no one else Maybe I hold you to blame For all the reasons that you left And close my eyes 'til I see your suprise And your leaving Before my time Baby, wont you change your mind
chorus: Shirley don't stay long I'm missing you now It's like I told you I'm over you somehow Before I close the door I need to Hear you say goodbye Baby, won't you change your mind
(solo)
I guess it hasn't changed Someone, maybe nobody else could understand I guess that you believe you are a woman And I am someone else's man But just before I see that you leave, I want you to Hold all the things that you said Baby, I wish I was dead
(repeat chorus)
BELLS RING (mazzy star) intro G, C, D (G, C) Bells ring into the night Sounds like a mistress on a rainy night Hold your throat down together And see the light that goes away Leave my heart down by the water Leave space inside my soul It isn't true, but you follow Just hold me down by the water
They say you look like a believer Look up to see the weakness in the sky Nobody's eyes survive the story Nobody want to know your reason why Hold your hands out toward the water In front of me to know I'm with you Don't put it all into, you'll hear Look on if you believe Look on if you believe Look on if you believe
Don't wanna say that your thru with it Just wanna be right by your side Right by your side
FIVE STRING SERENADE (mazzy star) (G, Am, C) This is my five-string serenade Beneath the water it plays And while I play it for you It could be raining there too
This is my five-string serenade Beneath the water it plays And while I play it for you It could be raining there too
(C, D) And on my easel I drew While I was thinking of you And on the roof of my head In came my five-string serenade
This is my five-string serenade Beneath the water it plays And while I play it for you It could be raining there too
(C, D) And on my easel I drew While I was thinking of you And on the roof of my head In came my five-string serenade
This is my five-string serenade Beneath the water it plays And while I play it for you It could be raining there too
BLUE FLOWER (mazzy star) (D, G) Waiting for a sign from you Waiting for the signal to change Have you forgotten what your love can do? Is this the end?
Walking thru the city Your boots are high-heeled and a-shining bright The sun was sparking on the shaft of your knife Flower in morning rain Dying in my hand Was it all in vain?
(bridge) (E, G, D) Superstar in your own private movie I wanted just a minor part But I'm no fool I know you're cool I never really wanted your heart
You're the keeper of the key Nothing seems to bring you down It's not that cool when I'm around Flower in morning rain Dying in my hand Was it all in vain?
(repeat bridge)
RIDE IT ON (mazzy star) (A, D, E) Ride it on baby Into my view Ride it on baby Into your sight Ride it on baby Just like you used to do Did you want me to love you, well I'm just here for the call And you said that you're so alone, well I won't really do you any harm
Won't you ride it on baby Just like you used to do There's no love that you're over feeling And you still wannna be with me
(D, A, E) But you're leaving like you said that you would I'm a-waiting for the call And you love like you always say, now But you know it won't do you any harm
Ride it on baby Just like you said that you would Oh, then ride it on baby Just like you know it's understood
Ride it on baby It's still into your view Ride it on baby I only wanna be with you
(D, A, E) I'm dreaming that you're going far And you like taking wine
Won't you ride it on baby But you're so heavy filled with pride
Ride it on baby Just like you said that you would
GIVE YOU MY LOVIN' (mazzy star) (G, C) Give you my lovin Seven days a week I'll be your honey If you'll be sweet I know I'm the only one for you I know that you think this is not true Man says it's raining Raining outside I'll be out there In a little while 'Cause you see, rain reminds me of you And everything has turned to you
See you in places I'm following you You'll be upstairs And I'll be there too Everywhere you go, I will follow I know it won't be the same tomorrow
(solo)
People give me warnings Stay away from you they say you'll hurt me I don't think that's true Discomfort rouses when I speak of you As if you've been saying something bad About me
When I see you I wanna kiss you But I know that ain't right So I ask if I can hold you Oh babe, I nee you so bad Oh babe, I only wanna make you Glad
intro: D, Em, A (2x) (D, Em, A, F#, G, F#, E, A) Saw you laying under my car, but you took it too far. Don't you know? Held your hand, well I knew you slipped away. Watched your eyes turn to grey in mine. But you're still lingering. I see it somehow. You know what I mean, don't you? Don't you?
(D, Em, A) Say what you mean. I've said it so well. Me and my own. I'm still, but your damned. My eyes are crying, as you slip from my view. I guess you know it. I feel for you. Yes I do.
Saw you laying under my car, but you took it too far. Don't you know? Held your hand, well I knew you slipped away. Watched your eyes turn to grey in mine. Me, I'm alone. I'm just driving away from the sight of you laying in death. (E & A vamp)
Goodbye before I cry I know you feel for me too. (Em, A) And I do. But it's the end. Goodbye my friend (end D)
