Milk Carton Kids – Shooting Shadows
Capo I
D Em G
i go out walking early in the mornings
Bm A
you’re probably sleeping or still hungover
G Bm
quiet evenings reading in the twilight
A G
of all the things that cross my mind
D Em G
we’re getting older, i hear your grandpa died
Bm A
i read it in the paper it caught me by surprise
G Bm
it made me think of when i lost mine
A G
when i asked you said that you were fine
Bm A/C# D G
and i would not be surprised to find
D A
you’d forgotten my name by now
Bm A/C# D G
no i could not see as time went by
D A
my shadow fading out
D Em G
i’m tough as nails, i test it all the time
Bm A
i make my bed and then i lie
G Bm
i try to say what’s mine is mine
A G
but it’s just another story line
D Em G
i’ve tried to think what happened to the fire
Bm A
its burning out made me into a liar
G Bm
made me feel like i’d been shooting shadows
A G
letting all what really mattered go
