Verse 1
G Bm
You walk out onstage and sing folks your song

You make them all smile what could go wrong?

But soon you discover the job takes its toll
Em
And everyone’s wanting a piece of your soul
G D A D Em D A
Verse 2
G Bm
You sit by the river, wondering what you got wrong,
A Bm
How many chances you’ve missed all along.
G Bm
Like your troubles had somehow turned you to stone
Em A
And the water was whispering, why don’t you come home?
Chorus
G D A
When life is too much, just remember
G D A
When you’re down on your luck, just remember,
G D Bm A
I’m as close as a shadow, wherever you go,
G D Bm A
As bad as things get, you’ve got to know,
G A
That I’m with you… always with you.
G
Your shadow.
G D A D Em D A
Verse 3
G Bm
One night there’s a call, and at first you don’t know
A Bm
What the troopers are saying from the side of the road,
G Bm
Then you see in an instant that your whole life has changed.
Em A
Everything gone, all the plans rearranged
Chorus
G D A D Em D A
Verse 4
G A D
You can’t keep down smiles; happiness floats.
Bm Em
But trouble can find us in the heart of our homes.
G A D
Life never seems to go quite right,
D A
You can’t watch your back from morning to night
