( Dm                   Bb                   C )
In the flinty light, it's midnight, and stars collide

Shadows run, in full flight, to run, seek and hide
Am             Bb              C
I'm still not sure what part I play,
               ( Dm   Bb          C )            
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
Am           Bb               C
Won't you tell me how I can find my way?
               Dm           Bb    C
In this shadow play, this shadow play

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

Across the screen a thin beam , of magic light
Am              Bb              C
Things they just don't look the same
                 ( Dm   Bb         C )
In this shadow play, this shadow play
Shadow play, shadow play
I can't run away from this shadow play
Shadow play, shadow play
