[Intro]
E C#m
[Verse]
E C#m E C#m
Can't break the spell I'm under, Can't seem to free my mind
E C#m B
Cause I keep on observing myself through others eyes
F#m A E A
I'm always on the search for a proof that satisfies
F#m A C#m B
To reassure my standing in imaginary eyes
[Chorus]
E E7 A
So I hide in the shade of a silhouette
C#m E A
And I fade like a burning cigarette
C#m B
I struggle and strive to guard my pride
Esus E
But end up so unsatisfied
A G#m B C#m
when my self esteem is drifting with the tide
[Verse]
E C#m E C#m
Regarding your opinion I am desperate to be sure
E C#m B
To make to a strong impression and get the highest score
F#m A E A
I keep on guesstimating just what you really meant
F#m A C#m B
rewinding conversations to expose your true intent
[Chorus]
E E7 A
And I hide in the shade of a silhouette
C#m E A
while I fade like a burning cigarette
C#m B
I struggle and strive to please my pride
Esus E
But end up so unsatisfied
A G#m B C#m
when my self esteem is drifting with the tide
[Bridge]
F#m A B
I've honestly have been wondering
E A
What ever will come from pondering
F#m A B
The questions that haunt me in the night
E D A
and conclusions that will stand the light
F#m A B E A
maybe I am a prisoner because I'm an eager listener
F#m A B
To thoughts that confirm my deepest fears
E D A
And assumptions that will disappear
E D A
I just can't make them disappear
Em D Am E
I'm a clever mind trap engineer
[Verse]
E C#m E C#m
I went to see the doctor to talk about my pain
E C#m B
He said you're not alone here, we all worry about the same
F#m A E A
To make the whole world like you Is not a silver goal
F#m A C#m B
It's love without conditions that is gonna make you whole
[Chorus]
E E7 A
but I hide in the shade of my silhouette
C#m E A
and I fade like a burning cigarette
C#m B
I struggle to find some peace of mind
Esus E
But end up so unsatisfied
A G#m B C#m
'cause my self esteem is drifting with the tide
