[Intro]
F#m
[Verse]
F#m
Wanna know where I don’t go
F#m
When it goes from OK to a oh no
F#m
When it goes from hi five to a low blow
F#m
When it goes from all five to a solo
F#m
Lemme tell you what you don’t know
F#m
I been down / so low / I was
F#m
Looking for something but denying that I found it
F#m
There’s an elephant sitting in the room
F#m
And I can’t find another way to tiptoe around it
F#m
I been doing greater good for a long time
F#m
But I can’t find any other way to give now
F#m
I been putting myself on the sideline
F#m
And it’s been time so I’m saying can I live now
F#m
There are times when I kick myself
F#m
Say I’m not sick but I can’t get well
F#m
Say I got this while I chase my tail
F#m
As if they can’t tell
[Chorus]
F#m
I'm running from my shadow
E B Bm
Running from my shadow but it’s still there chasing me down
F#m
I’ll never win the battle
E B Bm
Never win the battle and I should have known it by now
F#m E
Just when I think I’ve found the end / ohhh
B Bm
I’m going back around again / ohhh
F#m
Running from my shadow
E B Bm
Running from my shadow but it’s still there chasing me down
[Verse]
F#m
Light side’s got a dark side to it
E
Daytime flows into night like fluid
B
The yin and the yang with a curved line through it
Bm
And none of it’s illuminating why I do it
F#m
Maybe I didn’t want to chase what was not right
E
Maybe I didn’t want to face you were offsides
B
Thinking I was far away from a crossed line
Bm
But I was giving soft praise to a hard lie
F#m
There are things that you say and you don’t say
E
My tongue’s gotten real tired of me biting it
B
‘Cause I keep on following the wrong way
Bm
Time’s come and I can’t keep denying it
F#m
There are times when I kick myself
E
Say I’m not sick but I can’t get well
B
Say I got this while I chase my tail
Bm
As if they can’t tell
[Chorus]
F#m
I'm running from my shadow
E B Bm
Running from my shadow but it’s still there chasing me down
F#m
I’ll never win the battle
E B Bm
Never win the battle and I should have known it by now
F#m E
Just when I think I’ve found the end / ohhh
B Bm
I’m going back around again / ohhh
F#m
Running from my shadow
E B Bm
Running from my shadow but it’s still there chasing me down
[Bridge]
F#m E B
I love you but I know / I gotta let you go
Bm F#m
Dancing with the devil cause she’s all I’ve ever known
E B
Wanted to pretend / That this time was the end
Bm F#m
Sorry but I guess I gotta let you down again
F#m
Again
F#m
Again
N.C.
Running from my shadow now my shadow is my only friend
[Outro]
F#m E B Bm
F#m E
Running from my shadow
B Bm
But it’s still there chasing me down
F#m E B Bm
F#m
Running from my shadow
E B Bm
Running from my shadow but it’s still there chasing me down
