Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
What's [C]the deal, fellas?
Y 'all ready to rehearse?
We've been ready for the past
three hours.
Where you been?
Oh, shit.
Was it three hours ago?
David... Otis?
We not gonna keep having
more of this late shit.
No one has time [Cm]to waste
while you out here doing
whatever the hell you [F]want.
I'm here, ain't I?
[Cm]Only thing matters is when[C]
I'm on stage
making every[Cm]body look good.
So don't none of y [C]'all worry
about David Ruffin.
When it started referring to himself
in the third person,
we knew shit was about to hit the fan.
[Eb]Ooh, yeah
Your [C]love is fading
I can feel [Cm]your love fading
[F]Yeah, it's fading [Cm]away from me
Because your [C]touch,
your touch has grown cold
As if someone else
controls your very soul
I, I fool myself
Long as I can
I can feel the presence of an[Eb]other man
It's time to [C]speak my name
Said it's [Cm]not the same
[C]No, baby [F]I'm [Cm]losing you
[C]Y 'all heard what's
happening back home?
[Cm]Detroit is out here
raising hell cause the police
[F]Sick of them treating niggas
any kind of way they [Cm]want to
South ain't the only place
[C]that got rednecks.
That's our [Cm]hometown, Otis.
What are we going to do [F]about it?
What can we do about it?
It's not [Cm]our place to join in.
It's [C]our people, our city.
How it ain't our [Eb]place?
It's if you [C]speak my name
Said it's [Cm]not the [C]same
No, I'm [Cm]losing [F]you[C]
You don't have to be an activ[F]ist
to make [C]an impact, Otis.
There [F]was Dr. [Cm]King
and the Freedom [C]Riders
and the Panthers.
We got your gigs [F]in Chicago,
D .C., Los Angeles
Detroit was up in flames,
and Newark, and [C]Memphis
I [F]put a [Cm]provision in your rider
No more playing the segregated gigs
That's progress
But [C]is it enough?
Are we doing enough?
You might not be activists or politicians
But you're musicians, Otis
The music is colorblind
But the world [Eb]isn't!
Said it's [C]all over your face
Someone's [Cm]taking my place
No [C]way [F]I'm los[Cm]ing you
That [C]I tried to hide t[Cm]he emptiness inside
[C]Oh, [F]baby
[Cm]That [C]I c[F]an f[C]eel it in my bones
And the day you'll be [F]gone
[C]I'll lose it
I [F]said your [C]love is faded
[Eb]I can feel you're affected
[F]Yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I, I'm losing you
[Eb]
