Shadows

Intro 

C 




Fm                                  Bbm 
Shadows of a thousand faces keep on turning in your mind 
                        C            Fm 
And forgotten names and places never really left behind 
Fm                             Bbm 
Is it here imagination seeking shelter from the rain 
                     C            F 
Or a long self conversation once again 




Dm                                  Gm 
Shadows never point a finger at the things you say or do 
C                                F 
Silently they seem to linger any way you may run to 
Dm                                  Gm 
Sharing every joy or torment, every laughter or despair 
C                               Fm   C Fm C 
Facing you at any moment if you dare 




Fm                                        Bbm 
Gentle past at once surrender at what you didn't understand 
                           C             Fm 
Conquest of the night that ended holding you with trembling hands 
Fm                                     Bbm 
In a book a fall leaf-clover marks the days at below 
                       C              F 
Till she found that it was over long ago 




Dm                                        Gm 
Little thanks had most of meaning leaving only emptiness 
C                                      F 
Tender words and simple feelings never eased your hungriness 
Dm                          Gm 
Yesterdays remain so sudden and tomorrows round the bend 
C                                            Fm   C Fm C 
Can you read the line that dark ends on your hand

Both ends of a candle burning shine so brightly for a while 
                      C               F 
Rancours of a life reflecting in your smile

Sharing every joy or torment, every laughter or despair

Facing you at any moment if you dare
