Capo 1 key C Am C G F Am C Be careful little eyes what you see G F It's the second glance that ties your hands as darkness pulls the strings Am C Be careful little feet where you go G F For it's the little feet behind you that are sure to follow 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 C 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 Am C Be careful little ears what you hear G F When flattery leads to compromise, the end is always near Am C Be careful little lips what you say G F For empty words and promises lead broken hearts astray 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 C Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid F When you give yourself away Dm G People never crumble in a day 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 Am G You just might be sinking 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 C Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid F When you give yourself away Dm G People never crumble in a day Dm G Daddies never crumble in a day Dm F Families never crumble in a day Am C Oh be careful little eyes what see G F Oh be careful little eyes what you see Am C For the Father up above is looking down in love G F Oh be careful little eyes what you see
About the artist behind Slow Fade Chords:
Discovered by, among others, contemporary Christian music legend Steven Curtis Chapman, Casting Crowns received a recording contract and vaulted to popularity in 2003 with their self-titled debut album Casting Crowns. The album quickly made them one of the fastest selling debut artists in Christian music history. Lifesong followed in 2005, debuting at #9 on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart. Both albums have been certified Platinum. The band's third album The Altar and the Door debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart and #1 on the Hot Christian Albums chart upon its release in August of 2007. Ten weeks after it came out it was certified Gold.
Casting Crowns has enjoyed tremendous success in the United States. They have released eight singles to date, seven of which have become consecutive number one hits on various Christian music charts. "Voice of Truth" spent a record-breaking fourteen consecutive weeks at #1 beginning in 2003. “Lifesong” spent nine weeks in the top spot, with “Praise You In This Storm” remaining at #1 for seven weeks. Casting Crowns broke their own record in 2007 when the single "East To West" from The Altar and the Door hit sixteen consecutive weeks at #1. The song ended up enjoying the top spot for a total of nineteen weeks, now their most successful single to date.
