Verse 1
Am C
Be careful little eyes what you see
G Dm
It's the second glance that ties your hands as darkness pulls the strings
Am C
Be careful little feet where you go
G Dm
For it's the little feet behind you that are sure to follow
Chorus
Am G
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
Dm F
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Am G/B C
And thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
F
When you give yourself away
Dm G
People never crumble in a day
Am C G F
It's a slow fade, it's a slow fade
Verse 2
Be careful little ears what you hear
When flattery leads to compromise, the end is always near
Be careful little lips what you say
For empty words and promises lead broken hearts astray
Chorus 2
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
Bridge
Dm F
The journey from your mind to your hands
Am G
Is shorter than you're thinking
Dm F
Be careful if you think you stand,
C F
You just might be sinking
Interlude
Am C G F
Chorus 3
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
Dm G
Daddies never crumble in a day
Dm F
Families never crumble in a day
