F 

G C G C F (x2) 

Verse: 1 
G               C 
Whether we're wrong 
     G            C 
or whether we're right 
F        G      C 
It will be the same 
G             C 
We make our choices 
G            C 
deep in the night 
F        G        C 
It's a dreamer's game 

Pre-Chorus: 
F 
You've been told proceed with caution 
Am                    F 
I've been told that, too 
F 
We heed those voices a little too often 
C                 G 
It's just me and you 

 
        C 
Two silhouettes 
      F       G       C 
in a picture window frame 
           G C 
Two long shadows 
G          C          F 
under the moonlight again  

Interlude: G C G C F (x2) 

Verse: 2 
G             C 
You know my story 
G            C 
better than most, 
F             G       C 
you played a leading part 
G         C 
You only had 
   G         C 
a couple of lines, 
          F         G       C 
but you know the script by heart 

Pre-Chorus 
F 
You've been thinking 'bout living in this world 
  Am              F 
alone without a friend 
F 
We heed those voices a little too often, 
C                     G 
but it's just me and you 

 
        C 
Two silhouettes 
      F       G       C 
in a picture window frame 
           G C 
Two long shadows 
G          C          F 
under the moonlight again 

Interlude: G C G C F (x2) 

Coda 
                 G C 
Your beautiful shadow 
 G        C      F 
reaching out to mine 
             G C 
We're just shadows 
G        C     F 
chasing after time 
          G C 
Our two shadows 
G       C     F 
merging into one 
             G C 
We're just shadows 
G          C       F 
caught in morning sun 

Outro: G C G C F (x2)
