View chords used in this chart
( Dm Bb C )
In the flinty light, it's midnight, and stars collide
Shadows run, in full flight, to run, seek and hide
Am Bb C
I'm still not sure what part I play,
( Dm Bb C )
in this shadow play, this shadow play
In the half light, on this mad night, I hear a voice in time
Well, I look back, see a half-smile, then it's gone from sight
Am Bb C
Won't you tell me how I can find my way?
Dm Bb C
In this shadow play, this shadow play
In this shadow play, this shadow play
F C
Sounds come crashing, and I hear laughing
F C B
All those lights just blaze away
Bb
I feel a little strange inside
F C
A little bit of Jekyll, a little Mr. Hyde
F C
Sounds come crashing, can I hear laughing?
F C B
All those lights just blaze away
Bb
I feel a little strange inside
F C
A little Dr. Jekyll, a little Mr. Hyde
( Dm Bb C )
Thoughts run wild, free as a child, into the night
Across the screen a thin beam , of magic light
Am Bb C
Things they just don't look the same
( Dm Bb C )
In this shadow play, this shadow play
Shadow play, shadow play
I can't run away from this shadow play
Shadow play, shadow play
