INTRO:   A   G   D   A   G   D


VERSE I
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 II
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 (repeat)


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 III
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 & fade)
