(verse 1)
E                      Asus2
I was counting on you being there,
Hoping you would shield me from the glare.

Shadow me -
D                               E
I have lived in shadows all my life.

(verse 2)
E                       Asus2
I've been waiting an eternity
For tonight to spread it's arms and comfort me.

Shadow me -

I have lived in shadows all my life.

Things we did together yesterday,
G                      Em
Feels more like twenty years ago,
C   G
Oh, baby, I never lied -
C   G
I told you my hands were tied
D                                         E    Asus2
All the time. You said "That'll be fine."

(verse 3)
E                      Asus2
Like the mariners from ages past,
E                                Asus2
I steer my way through trackless seas by the light of stars.

Shadow me -
D                               E
I have lived in shadows all my life.
Won't you be my shadow?
