Am C G Em
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/metallica/fade_to_black_tab_ver_6.html ]
1. Life it seems will fade away, drifting further every day.
2. Things not what they used to be, missing one inside of me.
Am C G Em

2. Deathly lost, this can't be real, I cannot stand this hell I feel.

Am C G Em
1. I have lost the will to live, simply nothing more to give.
2. Emptiness is filling me, to the point of agony.
Am C G

2. Growing darkness taking dawn, I was me, but now__
