Tom: Bm
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 shudder rippled through my
Bm
chest like lightning
[Chorus]
G Em
There is no shadow, that'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
