! Capo 2st fret !


Am (let it ring)                                        F  (---)        
Oh the streets bleeding out for a real dream that's not filled with 
unmarked bills
Am (---)                                                          F (---)
When the moon turns its back to let off steam you're faced with a cold chill
Am (---)                                                F (---)
There's a bird at the window, smoke in its eye, singing off key
Am (---)  F (---)            C (---)                      F (---)           
There's a wounded girl with her heart shaped shoe in the shadows

In the shadows
Am (---)
In the shadows 
F (---)
of the city

Am (now played)                                             F    
Well the trains are half empty with faces that try to break off their chains
Am                                               F
Bound by the sound of the screaming dawn that is all their name
Am                                                           F
there?s a madman throwing stones at the streetlight coming through a torn out shade
Am        F              C               F
there?s a small river by the fallen tree in the shadows

In the shadows
Am
In the shadows
F
of the city

Am                                                                     F
you can feel the air breathing down your neck like a ghost standing by your side
Am                                                         F
flashing white teeth by the silent road he?s looking for a place to hide
Am                                                           F
rain cold woman with a knife in her hand and a shovel on the grassy ground
Am           F           C                 F
catch a left eye you can hear the sound of the shadows


in the shadows
Am 
in the shadows
F
of the city
Am
in the shadows
F
of the city
