Intro: F#m
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
F#m
I'm running from my shadow
E
Running from my shadow
B A
But it's still there chasing me down
F#m
I'll never win the battle
E
Never win the battle and
B A
I should have known it by now
F#m E
Just when I think I've found the end
B A
I'm going back around again
F#m
Running from my shadow
E
Running from my shadow
B A
But it's still there chasing me down
F#m
Light side's got a dark side to it
E
Daytime flows into night like fluid
B/D#
The yin and the yang with a curved line through it
D
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/D#
Thinking I was far away from a crossed line
D
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/D#
'Cause I keep on following the wrong way
D
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/D#
Say I got this while I chase my tail
D
As if they can't tell
F#m
I'm running from my shadow
E
Running from my shadow
B A
But it's still there chasing me down
F#m
I'll never win the battle
E
Never win the battle and
B A
I should have known it by now
F#m E
Just when I think I've found the end
B A
I'm going back around again
F#m
Running from my shadow
E
Running from my shadow
B A
But it's still there chasing me down
Bridge
F#m E
I love you but I know
B/D#
I gotta let you go
D
Dancing with the devil
F#m
Cause she's all I've ever known
E
Wanted to pretend
B/D#
That this time was the end
D
Sorry but I guess
F#m
I gotta let you down again
F#m
Again
F#m
Again
