Bridge
       D                        C#m
In the shadows, where I end up loved
              D                    C#m
They help me see that I've finally won
     G#          F#
We wait in your heart

After the bridge, the verse is played again, but the vocals enter 2 lines later in than 
first 2 and the 'shadows' part is repeated. A pretty simple, minimal song, but very 
nonetheless B-)
