[Intro]

Am • F • C • G
Am • F • C • G

[Verse 1]

Am F
I turn the dial, try to find you there
C G
Caught between the white noise and the midnight air
Am F
A song we loved, just a broken track
C G You're somewhere gone, and I can't bring you back

[Pre-Chorus]

F G
Every word you said’s a fading sound
Em Am
Lost in echoes spinning round
F G
I reach for you, but all I hear
Em G
Is static humming in my ear

[Chorus]

C G
You're fading in the static, baby
Am Em
Like an old forgotten tune
F C
Played out on a dying station
Dm G
Underneath a bloodshot moon
C G
I still whisper through the static, baby
Am Em
Hoping you’ll come back to me
F C
But you’re fading… fading
Dm G C
In the static of my memory

[Instrumental Break]
Am • F • C • G

[Verse 2]

Am F
Late night calls and old cassettes
C G
All I’ve got are little silhouette regrets
Am F
You were the melody, sweet and low
C G
Now I hear nothing but the undertow

[Pre-Chorus]

F G
I wait beneath that neon sky
Em Am
Wishing for a reason why
F G
The waves still bring your name to me
Em G
Like you’re caught in some frequency

[Chorus]

C G
You're fading in the static, baby
Am Em
Like a dream I can't replay
F C
Spinning out on midnight signals
Dm G
Till the night steals you away
C G
I still call out through the static, baby
Am Em
Hoping love can set you free
F C
But you’re fading… fading
Dm G C
In the static of my memory

[Bridge]

Am F
One last song, one last try
C G
But you’ve gone where I can’t find
Am F
Your voice, a ghost in stereo
C G
Gone before the morning glow

[Final Chorus]

C G
You're fading in the static, baby
Am Em
But I still tune in each night
F C
Searching through the endless silence
Dm G
For a flicker of your light
C G
Still believing in the magic, baby
Am Em
Though it’s just a memory
F C
You’re fading… fading
Dm G Am
In the static—lost from me

[Outro]

Am • F • C • G
