(verse 1)
E5                      A5
I was counting on you being there,
Hoping you would shield me from the glare.

(refr?o)
A5  E5 (2x)
Shadow me -
D5                               E5
I have lived in shadows all my life.

(verse 2)
E5                       A5
I've been waiting an eternity
For tonight to spread it's arms and comfort me.

(refr?o)
A5  E5 (2x)
Shadow me -
D5                               E5
I have lived in shadows all my life.

G5                      C5
Things we did together yesterday,
G5                      E5
Feels more like twenty years ago,
C5   G5
Oh, baby, I never lied -
C5   G5
I told you my hands were tied
D5                                         E5    A5
All the time. You said "That'll be fine."

(verse 3)
E5                      A5
Like the mariners from ages past,
E5                                A5
I steer my way through trackless seas by the light of stars.

(refr?o)
A5  E5 (2x)
Shadow me -
D5                               E5
I have lived in shadows all my life.
Won't you be my shadow?
