"Audioslave" - "Shadow On The Sun"
[Intro]
Bm A Bm A
[Verse 1]
Bm A
Once upon a time, I was of the mind
Bm A
To lay your burden down
Bm A
Leave you where you stood, You believed I could
Bm A
You'd seen it done before
Bm A
I could read your thoughts, and tell you what you saw
Bm A
And never say a word
Bm A
But now all that is gone, over with and done
Bm A
Never to return
[Chorus]
E D Bm
And I can tell you why
E D Bm
people die alone
E D Bm
I can tell you I'm
E D A
A shadow on the sun
Bm A Bm A
[Verse 2]
Bm A
Staring at the loss. Looking for the cause
Bm A
And never really sure
Bm A
Nothing but a hole to live without a soul
Bm A
And nothing to be learned
[Chorus]
E D Bm
And I can tell you why
E D Bm
People go insane
E D Bm
I can show you how
E D E
You could do the same
E D Bm
And I can tell you why
E D Bm
people die alone
E D Bm
I can tell you I'm
E D A
A shadow on the sun
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Bm A D A
Shapes of every size move behind my eyes
Bm A D A
Doors inside my head bolted from within
Bm A D A
Every drop of flame lights a candle in
Bm A D E
Memory of the one who lived inside my skin
[Chorus]
E D Bm
And I can tell you why
E D Bm
People go insane
E D Bm
I can show you how
E D E
You could do the same
E D Bm
And I can tell you why
E D Bm
people die alone
E D Bm
I can tell you I'm
