Shadow Of a Man

[Intro] Bb

[Primeira Parte]

Bb
Old town behind us
          Gm
I used to fly
     F
Pour yourself a drink
              Eb
That's when I slide
Bb
Always looking for another way out
              Gm
Never just at ease
     F
When everybody settles down to revel
                      Eb
That's when I have to leave

[Pré-Refrão]

Eb
Staring down forever
F          Gm
Feels like more than I can take

[Refrão]

Bb
This is all I am
Eb          Bb
Here in Everdene
Eb         Bb           F
All I ever wanted was a reason to believe
              Bb
But I’ve been holding on to everything
   Eb           Bb
As tightly as I can
Eb    Bb              F
Oh my God, I’m just a shadow of a man
         Gm        Bb    Eb   Bb
And it’s more than I can hold

[Segunda Parte]

Bb
I watch as they sit still
              Gm
With my green eyes
F
All that I wish that I could be
           Eb
Makes me a liar
    Bb
I'm moving like a snake among the weeds
         Gm
Why am I sly?
F                                           Eb
I will never know what it means for you and I

[Pré-Refrão]

Eb
Staring down forever
F          Gm
Feels like more than I can take

[Refrão]

Bb
This is all I am
Eb          Bb
Here in Everdene
Eb         Bb           F
All I ever wanted was a reason to believe
              Bb
But I’ve been holding on to everything
   Eb           Bb
As tightly as I can
Eb    Bb              F
Oh my God, I’m just a shadow of a man
            Gm
'Cause I've stared over the edge
         Eb            Bb
And I've seen where it leads
Eb                Bb
God, what I would give
           F
If I could only feel at ease
        Bb
And I'm holding on too tight
          Eb            Bb
Take this cup out of my hands
Eb    Bb              F
Oh my God, I'm just a shadow of a man
         Gm   F    Bb    Eb
And it's more than I can hold
Gm   F    Bb    Eb     Bb
More than I can hold


[Terceira Parte]
Bb
When it's quiet, when it's still
   Eb          Bb
Go easy if you can
Eb                Bb             F
Sometimes I thank God I'm just a shadow of a man
            Bb
'Cause I've seen over the edge
        Eb          Bb
There's reason to believe
  Eb               Bb
I feel it pull too tight
         F
Wrap its arms around me
