Em      G       Em         G       Em             A(sus2) 
I was born on a dark gray morn’ splashed before I crawled 
And I was raised in a deep dark cave where the shadows danced on walls 
And late one fall as I stood up tall the winds began to swirl 
And then one morning a gorgeous storm I began to wrap around the world 

C              G             C        G 
After all and all is well I feel the same 
C                 D              G 
I’m just casting shadows on the wall 
C                     G          C        G 
I’ve come now to the place from which I came 
C                     D              G 
And I’m just casting shadows on the wall 

    Em    G          Em      G        Em             A(sus2) 
The aftermath of a traveled path is a weary scrambled grave 
And restless hearts will falsely start with a world about to cave 

C             G              C        G 
After all and all is well I feel the same 
C                  D             G 
I’m just casting shadows on the wall 
C                      G         C        G 
I’ve come now to the place from which I came 
C             D                       G         Em 
And I’m just casting shadows on the wall 

         C  G         Em D            C   
And oh I ran, and oh I ran, and oh I ran  
Em    
Right or wrong, I’m right from where I came 

   Em    G         Em        G         Em               A(sus2) 
And oh I ran all across the land, I’m right from where I came 
In all my glory I will tell my story of how I went insane 
         Em 
I went insane 

         C  G         Em D            C   
And oh I ran, and oh I ran, and oh I ran  
Em    
Right or wrong, I’m right from where I came 

C              G             C        G 
After all and all is well I feel the same 
C                 D              G 
I’m just casting shadows on the wall 
C                      G         C        G 
I’ve come now to the place from which I came 

C                      D             Em 
And I’m just casting shadows on the wall                    (3x)
