I haven't posted a new song for ages so here's one I've just finished writing but not yet recorded.
Memories Fade.Undefined
[INTRO; Em-G-| Em-D | Em-Am |Em-D-Em||]
.
[Em] Were you afraid, when you were [G] alone?
Late in the [Em] night, deep in a [D] hole.
A hole of [Em] despair, [G] heartache and [Am] pain.
[D] Memories [Em] fade. [D] But the nightmare [Em] remains.
Time is a [Em] cave. Dark with no [G] end.
No shaft of [Em] light. Appears round the [D] bend.
Vengeance is [Em] mine. [G] Though the crime was all [Am] yours.
[D] Memories [Em] fade. [D] But never the [Em] cause.
(CHORUS)
[C] Do you remember life with [G] me?
[C] Do you remember walking [Em] free?
[C] The future within [D] our [Em] grasp.
Memories [D] fade – [Am]but the nightmare will [Em] last.
[Em-G-| Em-D| Em-Am| Em-D-Em]
.
I will not [Em] come. As I've run to you [G] before.
No late night [Em] calls. No open [D] door.
It's time in your [Em] life, [G] you faced your own [Am] fate.
[D] Memories [Em] fade. But the nightmare [Em] remains.
[SOLO; C-G-Em-D| C-G-Em| C-G-D-Em-Am| Em-Em||]
.
What do you [Em] see. Do you dare close your [G] eyes?
Cold as the [Em] lunar dust. Burn like your [G] lies.
Made-up like [Em] history. [G] So what do you [Am] gain?
Memories [Em] fade. [D] But the nightmare [Em] remains.
(CHORUS)
[Em-G-| Em-D| Em-Am| Em-D-Em]
.
[SOLO; C-G-Em-D| C-G-Em| C-G-D-Em-Am| Em-Em||] to end.
