C          F
Who is that upon the stairs
F   Gm
Acting like he don't know where
Bb          F
and who is laying down all the cards
Dm
and giving me the wrong things to say
Gm
and like a wheel on the table
Bb
He's a Cain to my Abel
C             F
Oh....... it's my shadow
F      Gm
The confessor to my dreams
             Bb       C                F
casting ribbon round my feet.....oh into my day
F        Gm
it's my shadow...making eyes until the sun lights the daytime
            Bb       C              F
as she comes..oh..into my day
D#   Bb   F
Happy in the time when I would have been there to see you
D#   Bb            F
Happy in the time when I would have been there at all
D              C               D
Happy when the night is gone and I believe you
E  F             D
Happy when the night is gone and I need a call.
(Instrumental)
D          G   Am
Who is chasing in the wind all the letters never sent
     G
and who is dusting down the stars
  Em
and giving me the wrong moves to make.
     Am     C
And like a wheel on the table,  he's a Cain to my Abel
  D  G
dancing upon the floor,  it's my shadow
        C
making eyes until the sun blinds the daytime
  D         G
as she comes..oh into my day
    G   C
it's my shadow like a willow to my stream
casting heaven round my feet
           D          G
oh.....into my day
G     D   C
When you find that things are getting wild is that
         D              G
the hardest smile that you can ever feel.
G     D   C
When you find that things are getting wild is that
         D              G
the hardest smile that you can ever feel.
G   C       C G     C     G
paralysed until the sun lights the daytime as she comes
         Am      D
And if my shadow comes a creeping
 Am  D      G
then I know i'll find me sleeping in the sun.
G     D     C     G
G     D   C
When you find that things are getting wild is that
        D                  G
the hardest thing that you can ever feel (repeat to fade)
