Shadow

       Am                   G        C
Got me straight up drinkin' from the barrel
           C/E   F     C/E F
I've been losin' hours
        Am             G         C
Singin' sad songs underneath the gallows
        C/E      F       C/E F
Runnin' from my shadow
Runnin' from my shadow

          Am
I need relief, I need some peace
G            C
But the voices, they keep talking to me
           F
And I keep going to meetings, I pray every evening
But I can't escape my disease
           Am
Lookin' at me, stare in the mirror
G           C
Look at the man starin' back at you
             F
You are your failures, you are your triumphs
You are a prophet, you are an asshole
          Am                      G
You are a devil and you are a god
         C
You buy a shovel and bury it all
              F
Think you can purchase your way right out of the void and not end up payin' the cost?
           Am
Lie to yourself, lie to them, hell
G           C
Whatever helps, forgotten what's real
              F
You think the secrets you keep stay between you and me
But the shadow's attached to your heels, like

       Am                   G        C
Got me straight up drinkin' from the barrel
          C/E    F     C/E F
I've been losin' hours
        Am             G         C
Singin' sad songs underneath the gallows
        C/E     F       C/E F
Runnin' from my shadow
Runnin' from my shadow

Am                        G      C
I let it rain through the sunroof
I've been parked out by the waterfront
F
Been going to war with myself
Reading Sun Tzu, bumpin' Tha Carter I
Am         G    C
I'm back on day two, forgot how hard it was
F
Starin' at me for so long, I forgot who the target was
Am              G    C                     C/E
I thought I was over this, this isn't what sober is
F
What kind of dad would hold their kids
Then go back out and ignore the risk?
Am                      G         C
The shadow wants me to forget the pain
                        C/E           F
Wants me to live in the guilt and the shame
So much that I have no choice but to die from the drugs or blow out my fucking brain
Am                          G
The shadow, it wants me too busy
C
It wants me keep driftin'
                          F
It wants me to give in to fame
It wants me forgettin' that I got an illness that lives in my spirit in different ways
Am              G
Shadow, the light
C                                  F
They can both blind, got different names
If it's too dark, if it's too bright
It can still burn you with different flames
Am                      G   C
And I don't owe them an iota
                        F
Tell my mama I'ma die sober
Yeah, I might be bipolar
I should write an album out in Wyoming
Am                G    C
Low bottom, I'm a high roller
Go full throttle, got no chauffeur
F
Got two voices on both shoulders
But I keep swinging 'til the fight's over

       Am                   G        C
Got me straight up drinkin' from the barrel
          C/E    F     C F
I've been losin' hours
        Am             G         C
Singin' sad songs underneath the gallows
        C/E     F       C/E F
Runnin' from my shadow
(Runnin' from my shadow)

Am                                G   C
Runnin', I'm runnin', I can't get away, away, away
F
Chasin' me down every night and all day, all day, all day
Am                                G   C
Runnin', I'm runnin', I can't get away, away, away
F
Chasin' me down every night and all day, all day, all day
Am                                G   C
Runnin', I'm runnin', I can't get away, away, away
F
Chasin' me down every night and all day, all day, all day
Am                                G
Runnin', I'm runnin', I can't get away
C
Chasin' me down every night and all day, all day, all day
F
My mama told me I gotta be brave, be brave, be brave
