"Flicker, Fade"
TAKING BACK SUNDAY
HAPPINESS IS
TUNING: 1/2 step down
CAPO: none
CHORDS: I like to keep the B and high E string open the whole time, but that's up to you.
In that case, the chords would be (low string to high string):
E - 022100
A - x02200
B - x24400
C#m - x46600
INTRO:

C#m
If you should change your name,

I'd love you just the same

And if you should run away,
A
I would save your place
C#m
So you can go, go, go
B
If you want to
E A
I wouldn't try and stop you
C#m B
I couldn't say I blame you
C#m A
Flicker, flicker, fade,
E B
Destroy what you create
C#m A E B
And wonder why it always ends the same
A E
You wonder why it always ends the same
C#m
When I said, "I hate that song
B
About fire and sex you love,"
E
I couldn't tell you why
A
Why I did it, why I lied
C#m
And I know it's wrong, wrong, wrong
B
It's evil but true
E
It's what I want to make you
A
(So I can say I blame you)
C#m B
So I can say I blame you
C#m A
Flicker, flicker, fade,
