[Verse 1]
(Bm)         G        D             Bm
There’s a shadow following you around
(Bm)         G        D             Bm
It’s the shadow of him letting you down
(Bm)         G        D             Bm
It’s the shadow of what he has done
(Bm)       G      D              D/F# G D/F# D
It’s the shadow of what you’ll become

(Bm)         G        D             Bm
But your darkness is just absence of light
(Bm)         G        D             Bm
And your wounds are just proof that you fight
(Bm)         G        D             Bm
And now a new fire is burning and bright
(Bm)        G      D              D/F# G
Let it burn at the wrong in the right
   D/F#                 D       Bm
At least you’ll be black and white

G  D Bm


[Verse 2]
(Bm)         G        D       Bm
I too, have asked myself why
(Bm)         G        D            Bm
And I too, have told myself “try”
(Bm)         G        D            Bm
And I too, have failed not to cry
(Bm)        G      D              D/F# G
And I too, found my light to get by

(Bm)         G        D             Bm
So believe me when I say that you would
(Bm)         G        D             Bm
Hold my hand, not just to see if you could
(Bm)         G        D             Bm
And hold on to it late through the night
(Bm)        G      D              D/F# G
Until you’re no longer feeling alright
   D/F#                 D       Bm
At least we’ll be black and white
