My First Tab, apart from the 3rd line in the section before the guitar solo, I 
think it sounds spot on.  If you can help with that part please contact me.
CWho is that upon the Fstairs
FActing like he don't know Gmwhere
Bband who is laying down all the Fcards
Fand giving me the Dmwrong things to say
Dmand like a Gmwheel on the table
BbHe's a Cain to my Abel
COh....... it's my Fshadow
FThe confessor to my Gmdreams
Gmcasting ribbon round my Bbfeet.....Coh into my dFay
Cit's my Fshadow...making eyes until the Gmsun lights the daytime
as she Bbcomes..Coh..into my Fday
EbHappy in the time when I Bbwould have been there to Fsee you
EbHappy in the time when I Bbwould have been there at Fall
DHappy when the night is Cgone and I believe Bbyou
AHappy when the night is gone and I need a call.
(Instrumental)
   Bm      G      D   Ax4
DWho is chasing in the Gwind
Gall the letters never Amsent
Cand who is dusting down the sGtars
Gand giving me the wrEmong moves to make.
And like a Amwheel on the table,  he's a CCain to my Abel
daDncing upon the floor,  it's my Gshadow
Gmaking eyes until the sAmun blinds the daytime
as she Ccomes..oDh into my Gday
Dit's my sGhadow like a willow to my Amstream
Amcasting heaven round my Cfeet
ohD.....into mGy day
GWhen you find that Dthings are getting wild is Cthat
the hardest smile that yDou can ever fGeel.
GWhen you find that Dthings are getting wild is Cthat
the hardest smile that yDou can ever fGeel.
GParalysed until the sAmun lights the daytime as she CcomeGsC  G  
And if my sAmhadow comes a Dcreeping
then I Amknow i'll find me Dsleeping in the Gsun.
Am   D   Am   D
GWhen you find that Dthings are getting wild is Cthat
the hardest smile that yDou can ever fGeel.
GWhen you find that Dthings are getting wild is Cthat
the hardest smile that yDou can ever fGeel.(repeat to fade)
