Tom: D
A G D A G D
[Verse]
D
Before a word is spoken, everything is broken, even what you hid inside
A D
The world has let you down, wrung shame out of your pride
D
But even as you falter, like sunlight on the water, you shine on my face
A D
The darkness in your heart, it's just a shadow in the way
[Chorus]
A G D
Oh, just a shadow in the way
A G D
Oh, oh, it's just a shadow in the way
[Verse 2]
D
When the fire leaves you, when no one believes you, when you give yourself away
A D
To a stranger on the road, who gives you nothing in exchange
D
Even when the door shuts, even though the night cuts, like a silver blade
A D
In the morning you will find, it's just a shadow in the way
[Chorus]
A G D
Oh, just a shadow in the way
A G D
Oh, oh, it's just a shadow in the way
[Bridge]
G D A G
Though we're caught in the darkness, don't be afraid
G D A G
Though we're caught in the darkness, don't be afraid
D G D G
This world of sorrow, it's just a shadow
D G D G A
This world of sorrow, it's just a shadow, it's just a shadow
[Verse 3]
D
Got to get up again, and let the light in, throw your tears away
A D
That mountain looks so high, it's just a shadow in the way
[Chorus](Repeat till fade)
A G D
Oh, just a shadow in the way
A G D
Oh, oh, it's just a shadow in the way
