E                     A
I was counting on you being there, 
E                          A
Hoping you would shield me from the glare. 
       E   A      E   A      E
Shadow me, shadow me, shadow me,
D
I have lived in shadows all my life. 

I've been waiting an eternity 
For tonight to spread it's arms and comfort me. 
Shadow me, shadow me, shadow me,
D                              G
I have lived in shadows all my life. 

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

Like the mariners from ages past, 
I steer my way through trackless seas 
By the light of stars. 

Won't you be my shadow?
