Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Verse 1: Bm So I woke up one morning with a F# shadow sleeping in my bed A His voice was?soft?and solemn but? Bm the teeth were rotting out his?head G He said to me, let’s make a deal Em I’ll get you?out?of?this here mess Bm F# But?follow you, I?will, until Bm you’re dead
Verse 2: Bm And as the days went by, my F# shadow matched my each and every step A And whispered words of wickedness Bm that rattled ‘round my weary head G ‘Til I gave up and let him do Em The talking while I rested Bm F# And forgot the countless wicked Bm things he said Chorus: G Em Bm F# So is he my shadow, or am I his G Em Bm Am I who I am, or what I did Verse 3: Bm And soon I got so light my wicked F# shadow tripped me constantly A And shadows pooled upon my skin Bm each time I fell upon my knees G Spotted, dotted, tattered with Em My shadow hanging over me Bm F# I hung my head and wished for Bm sweet relief Verse 4: Bm Now he's the one things happen F# to, I look upon it helplessly A Bm He's taken on my mannerisms, acts my life out like a scene G Haunted, hounded as my shadow Em Taunts me with his tactics Bm F# I stare stupid, and in utter Bm disbelief Chorus: G Em Bm F# So is he my shadow, or am I his G Em Bm Am I who I am, or what I did Bridge: Bm And then one day I turned around F# and found my shadow missing A It was worse than that first E moment when I woke up lying next to him G Have I been dreaming this whole time Em I asked to no one listening Bm F# And a shadow rippled through my Bm dress like lightning Chorus: G Em There is no shadow, there's never Bm F# been G Em There is no shadow, there never Bm F# is G Em Bm I am what I am and what I did
