Just A Shadow

 
Em             C                  Am 
When the night comes I crave your kiss 
               C 
Both sweet and bitter the taste 
Em           C           Am 
Of broken hearts and cigarettes 
             C                     Em 
That I never liked but I can't forget 
               C 
You speak with poisoned tongue this 
Am             C 
Vicious commentary bruising 
Em             C 
Every fucking inch of me 
   Am          C 
And I am powerless to leave 
 

 
Bm           C 
But when the emptiness comes I 
G           A 
Need you, I need you 
Bm          C 
And in the darkness I'll 
G                A 
Forgive you, forgive you but 
 

 
Em      C       G     Am 
Oh, you are the lie I always 
Em         C        G       Am 
Told to myself, and irrepressible ache 
Em  C        G       Am 
But I'd walk right into a 
Em         C    G       Am   Em   C   Am  C 
Gathering storm just to get away 
Em   C   Am  C 
 

 
Em       C 
Embedded so deep down 
  Am                    C 
I don't think I'll ever cut you out 
Em         C               Am 
An armour formed around my bones 
          C                Em 
Around my heart, around my soul 
            C 
Offering protection by 
Am              C 
Forming impenetrable lies 
Em         C 
This armor crushes dreams 
Am                 C 
This armor crushes me 
 

 
Bm           C 
But when the emptiness comes I 
G           A 
Need you, I need you 
Bm          C 
And in the darkness I'll 
G                A 
Forgive you, forgive you but 
 

 
Em      C       G     Am 
Oh, you are the lie I always 
Em         C        G       Am 
Told to myself, and irrepressible ache 
Em  C        G       Am 
But I'd walk right into a 
Em         C    G       Am   Em   C   Am  C 
Gathering storm just to get away 
Em   C   Am  C
