And a child in a village I passed through.
There are places that I have traveled and so many things I?ve seen and it all fades away,
D
But you
D G
I was sliding down a mountain, I was burning in the sun,
D A

I was capturing a moment, but when all is said and done;
D A D
Well it all fades away but you.
Chorus:
D G A D G A D
It all fades away, it all fades away, it all fades away but you
Verse 2: D G
I have sailed across the oceans, passed the cities and the farms

On a never-ending quest for something new.
D G
And the only thing that mattered was the four days in your arms
D A D
And it all fades away but you
Chorus:
D G A D G A D
It all fades away, it all fades away, it all fades away but you
(Ahhhhhhs) D G D A (x4)
D G
There is one thing that?s eternal, that can not be torn apart.
D A
There is one thing that remains forever true

Past the thinking, past the breathing, past the beating of my heart
D A D
It will all fade away but you
Chorus: (x2)
D G A D G A D G
It all fades away, it all fades away, it all fades away but you
