Tuning: Drop D (D A D G B E)

Key: Em

Difficulty: Intermediate

Intro:
E5      G     D5
Join in my... join in my child and listen...
E5          G     D5
Digging through my old numb shadow


Verse 1:
  E5      G
My shadow's... shedding skin
D          A
I've been picking... scabs again
Em    G
I'm down, digging through
D        A
My old muscles, looking for a clue

Pre-Chorus 1:
      E5       G
I've been crawling on my belly
     D5         A
Clearing out what could've been
      E5       G
I've been wallowing in my own confused
  D5     A
And insecure delusions
    E5        G
For a piece to cross me over
   D5        A
Or a word to guide me in
     E5        G
I wanna feel the changes coming down
     D5         A
I wanna know what I've been hiding


Chorus 1:
   E5
In my shadow
  G
My shadow
D
Change is coming through
  A
My shadow
  E5
My shadow's
G
Shedding skin
D5
I've been picking
A
My scabs again


Spoken:
E5       G      D5
Join in my... join in my child
E5      G      D5
Shadow's... closer to meaning


Pre-Chorus 2:
      E5       G
I've been crawling on my belly
     D5         A
Clearing out what could've been
      E5       G
I've been wallowing in my own confused
  D5     A
And insecure delusions
     E5        G
I wanna feel the change consume me
     D        A
Feel the outside turning in
     E5      G
I wanna feel the metamorphosis and
D
Cleansing I've endured within


Chorus 2:
   A
My shadow
   E5
My shadow
      G
Change is coming
D5
Now is my time
E5
Listen to my muscle memory
G
Contemplate what I've been clinging to
D5              A
Forty-six and two ahead of me


Bridge:

I... choose to live and to
G
Grow... take and give and to

Move... learn and love and to
A
Cry... kill and die and to
E5
Be... paranoid and to
G
Lie... hate and fear and to
D5               A
Do... what it takes to move through

I... choose to live and to
E5
Lie... kill and give and to
G
Die... learn and love and to
D
Do... what it takes to step through


Outro:
E5
See my shadow changing
G
Stretching up and over me
D5
Soften this old armor
A
Hoping I can clear the way by
E5
Stepping through my shadow
G
Coming out the other side
D5
Step into the shadow
A                  E5
Forty six and two are just ahead of me
