Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Once upon a time, I was of the mind

 To lay your burden down

Leave you where you stood, You believed I could

 You'd seen it done before

I could read your thoughts, and tell you what you saw

 And never say a word

 But now all that is gone, over with and done

 Never to return

 And I can tell you why

 people die alone

I can tell you I'm

 A shadow on the sun

 Staring at the loss. Looking for the cause

 And never really sure

 Nothing but a hole to live without a soul

 And nothing to be learned

 And I can tell you why

 People go insane

I can show you how

You could do the same

 And I can tell you why

 people die alone

I can tell you I'm

 A shadow on the sun

|| E D Bm | Bm || 4x (same accentuation as in the Refrain)

Shapes of every size move behind my eyes

Doors inside my head bolted from within

Every drop of flame lights a candle in

Memory of the one who lived inside my skin

 And I can tell you why

 People go insane

I can show you how

You could do the same

 And I can tell you why

 people die alone

I can tell you I'm

 A shadow on the sun
