Shadows Chords

[Verse 1]
C/G                                     C/G                G
I went out looking for you, I tried the nightclubs and the bars,
C/G                                    C/G                 G
I searched the alleyways, where lonely men will hide their cars,
F                                 F             F
The girls down at the motel, were too afraid to say,
F                 C/G             C/G
Because we've got mouths to feed, bills to pay
Am           G                    F
This kind of talk just drives the men away
 
[Verse 2]
C/G                              C/G                  C/G
I tried the station, for all the good that that would do,
C/G                                     C/G             G
It seems their laws don't work, for the likes of me and you,
F                                    F
I showed your picture and I tried to explain but you know
C/G                            C/G
those dirty cops down town are all the fuckin' same
Am             G            F
You girls have only got yourselves to blame
 
[Chorus]
F
We're just shadows,
F                         C/G
We're just shadows in the dark
F
We're just shadows,
F                       C/G
Lonely souls and broken hearts,
 
[Verse 3]
C/G                                  C/G              G
I was putting on my make up, whe the word came on the news,
C/G                                   C/G              G
There's a body in the resevoir, and I knew that it was you,
F                                       F                   F
When they took you from the water, your hands and feet were tied
  C/G                           C/G             C/G
I wonder who you called out for just before you died
Am        G               F
I fixed myself up just so I could cry
 
[Verse 4]
C/G                            C/G              G
You'd talk about eddie, he was getting out last may,
       C/G                             C/G           G
Always said hed come and get you, take all your pain away,
F                        F
I knew you loved him and you didn't care,
    C/G                                C/G              C/G
The fact he tried to kill you once was neither here nor there,
Am              G           F
I wonder was it eddie who took you way out there
 
[Chorus]
F
We're just shadows,
F                         C/G
We're just shadows in the dark
F
We're just shadows,
F                       C/G
Lonely souls and broken hearts,
 
[Verse 5]
C/G                           C/G             G
I still have that picture, of us on new years eve,
            C/G                                C/G                   G
You look so happy in your party dress, and i'm stretched across your knee,
F                               F                 F
We'd lightning in our eyes, for this year we'd be free,
C/G                          C/G                C/G
I'd put down the needle, and you'd stop chasing speed,
Am                G                  F
You'll never ever know how much that picture means to me
 
[Outro]
F
We're just shadows,
F                         C/G
We're just shadows in the dark
