FADING ECHOES

Intro (0:00 – 0:20)

Piano solo ou guitare fingerpicking

Accords : | B♭ | Gm | Eb | F |

Ambiance douce, lente montée en émotion
(peut inclure un hum ou quelques ad-libs “oooh” / “mmm”)

Verse 1 (0:20 – 0:55)

| B♭ | Gm | Eb | F |
| B♭ | Gm | Eb | F |
Lyrics:
I kept your letters in a drawer I never open,
Each word’s a wound that never healed, just broken.
Your perfume lingers like a ghost upon my skin,
Every breath I take still pulls you in.

Pre-Chorus 1 (0:55 – 1:10)

| Gm | Eb | F | F |
Lyrics:
I still hear your laughter down the hallway,
I still see your shadow when the lights fade.
We were everything that love could ever be,
Now it’s just the emptiness in me.

Chorus 1 (1:10 – 1:40)

| B♭ | Gm | Eb | F |
| B♭ | Gm | Eb | F |
Lyrics:
Now I’m standing in the rain,
Trying to wash away your name.
Every tear just says the same —
I was yours, and I still feel the pain.
Love was fire, now it’s only smoke,
Every promise we made, every word we spoke.
It’s fading… fading echoes.

Verse 2 (1:40 – 2:10)

| B♭ | Gm | Eb | F |
| B♭ | Gm | Eb | F |
Lyrics:
The photographs don’t lie, they hold what time erased,
Your eyes still haunt me in a thousand ways.
I keep pretending I’ve moved on, I swear I try,
But I still dream of you most every night.

Pre-Chorus 2 (2:10 – 2:25)

| Gm | Eb | F | F |
Lyrics:
I reach for you, but I’m holding air,
The silence answers, but you’re not there.
Your heartbeat used to drown my fears,
Now I drown in my own tears.

Chorus 2 (2:25 – 2:55)

| B♭ | Gm | Eb | F |
| B♭ | Gm | Eb | F |
Lyrics:
Now I’m standing in the rain,
Trying to wash away your name.
Every tear just says the same —
I was yours, and I still feel the pain.
Love was fire, now it’s only smoke,
Every promise we made, every word we spoke.
It’s fading… fading echoes.

Bridge (2:55 – 3:20)

| Gm | Eb | B♭ | F |
| Gm | Eb | F | F |
Lyrics:
Maybe love’s not meant to last forever,
Maybe we just burn until we sever.
But I still carry you inside my chest,
Even though I know I should forget.
And if our souls were meant to meet again,
I’d fall in love the same way, even knowing the end.

(petite montée vocale + instrumentale ici, crescendo avant le dernier refrain)

Final Chorus (3:20 – 3:45)

| B♭ | Gm | Eb | F |
| B♭ | Gm | Eb | F |
Lyrics:
Now I’m standing in the rain,
Calling out your name in vain.
Every memory cuts like a chain —
I was yours, and I’ll never be the same.
Love was fire, now I’m breathing smoke,
Every promise we made has broke.
It’s fading… fading echoes.

Outro (3:45 – 4:05)

| Gm | Eb | F | B♭ |
Lyrics:
If I could turn back time, I’d never let you go,
But some hearts break just to help us grow.
Now all that’s left of what I know —
Are fading echoes… of your soul.

(soft piano outro, fade out on “Fading echoes…”)
