[Verse 1]
Em Am Am7
There’s so many of us you’re not telling
Em Am Am7
That you’re falling apart
Em Am Am7
Your shadow lifts out of the shallows
Em Am Am7
Like he’s waiting to start
D G Am7 D
Oh, it might be the first thing we notice
G Am7 D
I know this is hard
G Am7 D
But your skin is on fire
G Am7
And your head is unhinged
[Chorus]
Am Am7
So, shed your old shadow and let it sink in
[Instrumental]
Em Am Am7 x2
[Verse 2]
Em Am Am7
How often you found yourself standing
Em Am Am7
Somewhere out on a ledge
Em Am Am7
While guessing and stepping foot forward
Em Am Am7
The width of the edge
D G Am7 D
Oh, and your shadow will seem at its darkest
G Am7 D
When the fire burns bright
G Am7 D
It’s been burning so wild
G Am7
When you feel yourself singe
[Chorus]
Am Am7
So, shed your old shadow and let it sink in
[Outro]
Em Am Am7 x6
D G Am7 x4
Am Am7
Em Am Am7 x4
