Riff (x2)
e|------5-8----8-5----
B|----8------8-----8--

Note: this riff starts in the 1st verse when Jacob says "Cause when you see others...", 
then the same riff in the 2nd verse when he says "you make your truth and move it straight ahead"

(chorus)
           C         F
I'm not a shadow
             Am                 G
I'm not the ground beneath your feet
                 C       F
Cause I'm not a shadow
              Am                 G
When you look down you won't see me
        C              F
I stand up and I stand tall
        Am           G            C       F
I don't follow anyone, I'm not a shadow
                 Am      G
Cause I'm not a shadow, oh no, no
   
(verse 1)
 C                      F
This dude don't settle and never separate
    Am                       G
And never be quiet cause the words you say
    C                    F
You never go back on and never turn around
Am                        G
Never judge another cause how stupid it sounds
      C                          F
Cause when you see others knowing they're all brothers
   
   Am                          G
Knowing they're all sisters, seeing the big picture
    C                      F
If they not with ya, then they're against
     Am                     G
And we're here now when they are way back when
     C               F
So why try to please everyone?
         Am                   G
When it seems all the people really want
       C                    F
Is to show love out and to get love back
         Am                    G
It's to show some faith and to get respect
      C                         F
Just look at the world and you look at the problems
     Am                        G
And look at the hatred and we still can't solve it
    C                      F
So look inside and you'll find step one
          Am                            G
Forget a diamond, I'm shining like the sun


(chorus)
           C         F
I'm not a shadow
             Am                 G
I'm not the ground beneath your feet
                 C       F
Cause I'm not a shadow
              Am                 G
When you look down you won't see me
        C              F
I stand up and I stand tall
        Am           G            C       F
I don't follow anyone, I'm not a shadow
                 Am      G
Cause I'm not a shadow, oh no, no

verse 2

             C                         F
Here's to you on your own, the innocent criminal
        Am                   G                
You never fit the mold, you never could sit down
         C                        F
You'll never go get approval how matter you prove
      Am                        G
That love is the motive in everything you do
      C                             F
And revolution is you and you're against the machine
     Am                      G 
You know who you are and you know what I mean
           C                         F
And when this record stops you will never slow down
          Am                G
When the video is over you want your turn now so
     C                        F 
You make your truth and move it straight ahead
           Am                      G
While the followers behind you get left for dead
              C                         F
And for the imminent brainwashed who follow the dumb rules
  Am                    G
Created by individuals someone like you don't
C                     F
Care for the world or care for the people
      Am                         G
They love it their way and they love unequal
          C                   F
And they love when they feel above someone
         Am                   G
I don't follow the leader when they're all wrong


(chorus)
           C         F
I'm not a shadow
             Am                 G
I'm not the ground beneath your feet
                 C       F
Cause I'm not a shadow
              Am                 G
When you look down you won't see me
        C              F
I stand up and I stand tall
        Am           G            C       F
I don't follow anyone, I'm not a shadow
                 Am      G
Cause I'm not a shadow, oh no, no


at the end... one more time
