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 

tabchorus
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)
