Tab
-5 5 -5
In a time
5 -5 6 6 -5 5 -5 
When the sun descends alone
5 -6 7 -7 -7 7 -6 6 -6 -5 
I ran a long long way from home
5 5 -5 6 6 6 -5 5 -5
To find a heart that’s made of stone
 
-5 5 -5
I will try
5 -5 6 6 -5 5 -5 
I just need a little time
5 -6 7 -7 -7 7 -6 6 -5 
To get your face right out of my mind
5 5 -5 6 7 -6 6 -6 6 -5
To see the world through different eyes

Chorus: 

-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 7 -7 -7 6 -5 5 
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
-7 -7 8 -7* -7 7 -6 7 8 -7
But when we meet it seems I can’t let go
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 7 -7 -7 7 -6 6 6 -6 -5
Every time you leave the room I feel I’m fading like a flower


7 -6 -5
Tell me why
5 -5 6 6 -5 5 -5 
When I scream there’s no reply
-5 -6 7 -7 -7 7 -6 6 -6 -5
When I reach out there’s nothing to find
5 -5 6 6 7 -6 6 -6 6 -5 
When I sleep I break down and cry

Repeat chorus

Bridge: 

7 7 -6 7 -6 -5  
Fading like a rose
7 7 -6 7 -6 -5  
Fading like a rose
7 7 -6 7 -7
Beaten by the storm
7 7 -6 7 -7 
Talking to myself
7 8 -7 7 -7 
Getting washed by the rain
7 7 -6 7 7 -6 -5 
It's such a cold cold town
8 7 -6 7 -6 -5 
Oh, such a cold town

After this chorus repeats 3 times. Final two repetitions are one tone higher, you might want to adjust the tab if you want to sound exactly like original. 
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
