A G There I was, just standing in your shadow Bm A Just standing in your pool of shade veneer A G Here I am, still yellowed by the summer Bm A Still suffering in silence loud and clear [Bridge] A F A Well I catch the train, it takes me back A F E We leave the rails and the carriage snaps [Verse 2] A G There I was, just lying in the kitchen Bm A Just listening to voices through the tiles A G And they said the one thing you can count on Bm A Is you can count on nothing here my child [Bridge] A F A Well you dig my grave and slap my back A F E And I turn grey on the beaten track [bridge 2] A F F G But you hardly notice E You hardly notice [Chorus] A What do you say when they roll a grenade F And it almost takes your breath away? G Talking to Joe with the head of a crow E And it's all gone pear-shaped [Verse 3] A G There I was, just standing in your shadow Bm A Just suffering in silence loud and clear [Outro] A G Bm A Standing in your shadow (Standing in your shadow) x2 A Something's not right (Standing in your shadow)
