[Intro]
E B7 E
[Verse 1
E A E
I lead a rich rewarding life, good wife, a home, a car
E B7
But generally, you can find me down in some dim lit bar
E A E
I hold all the treasures of the world, this fact I can't deny
E B7 E
But I'm living, yes I'm living, in the shadow of a lie
[Verse 2]
E A E
My wife's first husband and myself were on a fishin' trip
E B7
He was in our rowboat, me on shore, when I saw my partner slip
E A E
A hellish thing took hold of me and I delayed my rescue dash
E B7 E
Till I knew my lover's husband had finally breathed his last
[Verse 3]
E A E
I took his body back to town and restrained a happy smile
E B7
When they said there'd be a hearin', wouldn't even be a trial
E A E
That a fine upstanding citizen like me could do no wrong
E B7 E
And the wall between me and my love was finally to be gone
[Outro]
A E
Now just when my world glows brightest and warm thoughts run through my head
A E B7
A chilling darkness hovers like a demon over head
E A E
And sometimes the guilt inside me rings so strong I hope to die
E B7 E
For I'm living, is it living, in the shadow of a lie
