[Intro]
 
Am C G F
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
   Am                          C
Be careful little eyes what you see
         G                                     Dm
It’s the second glance that ties your hands as darkness pulls the strings
   Am                            C
Be careful little feet where you go
             G                               Dm
For it’s the little feet behind you that are sure to follow
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       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
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
   Am                           C
Be careful little ears what you hear
     G                                 Dm
When flattery leads to compromise, the end is always near
   Am                           C
Be careful little lips what you say
    G                             Dm
For empty words and promises lead broken hearts astray
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       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
 
 
[Bridge]
 
    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
                     C  F
You just might be sinking
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
Am C G Dm
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       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
 
 
[Outro]
 
      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                            C
Oh be careful little eyes what you see

When playing 5 half steps down and capo on the 2nd fret it works nicely for my range: Try these chords for the ending: G D Oh be careful little eyes what you see D7 G Oh be careful little eyes what you see C G For the Father up above is looking down in love D G Oh be careful little eyes what you see

I agree the original key with capo on the 1st fret works with the Casting Crowns recording. If you take the capo off it brings the range down a little and makes it a little easier to sing for those that do not have a tenor voice. Try this for the ending when playing the original key: ......C............................G Oh be careful little eyes what you see ......G7...........................C Oh be careful little eyes what you see ........F..................C For the Father up above is looking down in love ......G............................C Oh be careful little eyes what you see

Sorry about the false tuning indication. Its just standard tuning with a capo on the first fret.
