Album Title: Tambourine

From: hubsm

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)
