( D5                   Bb5                   C5 )
In the flinty light, it's midnight, and stars collide

Shadows run, in full flight, to run, seek and hide
A5             Bb5              C5
I'm still not sure what part I play,
               ( D5   Bb5          C5 )            
in this shadow play, this shadow play

In the half light, on this mad night, I hear a voice in time

Well, I look back, see a half-smile, then it's gone from sight
A5           Bb5               C5
Won't you tell me how I can find my way?
               D5           Bb5    C5
In this shadow play, this shadow play

In this shadow play, this shadow play
F5                    C5      
Sounds come crashing, and I hear laughing
F5                           C5    B5
All those lights just blaze away
Bb5                           
I feel a little strange inside
F5                                    C5
A little bit of Jekyll, a little Mr. Hyde
F5                     C5
Sounds come crashing, can I hear laughing?
F5                           C5    B5
All those lights just blaze away
Bb5
I feel a little strange inside
F5                                 C5
A little Dr. Jekyll, a little Mr. Hyde
( D5                  Bb5              C5 )
Thoughts run wild, free as a child, into the night

Across the screen a thin beam , of magic light
A5              Bb5              C5
Things they just don't look the same
                 ( D5   Bb5         C5 )
In this shadow play, this shadow play
Shadow play, shadow play
I can't run away from this shadow play
Shadow play, shadow play
