[Verse 1]
     G#m
It's nights like this
        B       F#
under a harvest moon
   G#m
It came too fast and
     B        F#
it's gone too soon
  G#m               B      F#
A wilted rose and a frozen tomb
  E              F#
A memory for the wind, anyway

[Verse 2]
    G#m
Has anybody noticed that
    B      F#
the sky is falling?
G#m                          B F#
Are we all just happy in the rain?
  G#m
Am I the only one who
          B      F#
hears the sirens calling?
   E
Am I the only one who
feels the pain?

[Chorus]
     E          B
It's times like these
F#       G#m            F#
When the sorrow shadows all
the laughter
E          F#
Times like these
         G#m              F#
When the hurt goes on and on
forever
E          F#             D#
Times like these, I wanna fade away

[Verse 3]
  G#m
I read all the pages
     B       F#
from left to right
  G#m
I took one in the
            B      F#
morning and one at night
  G#m
A fire still burns,
         B      F#
but it's cold inside
     E              F#
It's all that I can do, anyway

[Verse 4]
G#m
No one wants to talk
          B      F#
about the end is coming
G#m
Pointing fingers,
                B F#
handing out the blame
G#m
If I gave you answers
   B        F#
to all your questions
E
Could you change or
                   F#
would you stay the same?

[Chorus]
            E          B
'Cause it's times like these
F#   G#m               F#
When left is right and forwards,
backwards
E          F#
Times like these
     G#m
When days and nights
     F#
just roll together
E          F#
Times like these,
I wanna fade away
