[Intro]
E   C#m
[Verse]
Can't Ebreak the spell I'm C#munder, Can't Eseem to free my C#mmind
Cause EI keep on obC#mserving myBself through others eyes
I'm F#malways on the Asearch for a Eproof that satisfAies
To F#mreassure my Astanding in imC#maginary Beyes
[Chorus]
So I Ehide in the E7shade of a Asilhouette
And I C#mfade like a Eburning Acigarette
I C#mstruggle and strive to Bguard my pride
But Esusend up so Eunsatisfied
when my Aself esteem is G#mdrifting Bwith the C#mtide
[Verse]
RegEarding your oC#mpinion I am Edesperate to be C#msure
To Emake to a strong imC#mpression and Bget the highest score
I F#mkeep on guesstiAmating just Ewhat you really Ameant
rF#mewinding converAsations to exC#mpose your true inBtent
[Chorus]
And I Ehide in the E7shade of a sAilhouette
while I C#mfade like a Eburning Acigarette
I C#mstruggle and strive to Bplease my pride
But Esusend up so Eunsatisfied
when my Aself esteem is G#mdrifting Bwith the C#mtide
[Bridge]
I've F#mhonestly Ahave been Bwondering
What Eever will come from Apondering
The F#mquestions that Ahaunt me Bin the night
and Econclusions Dthat will Astand the light
F#mmaybe I Aam a Bprisoner beEcause I'm an eager Alistener
To F#mthoughts that conAfirm my Bdeepest fears
And asEsumptions Dthat will Adisappear
I Ejust can't Dmake them Adisappear
I'm a Emclever Dmind trap AmengineerE  
[Verse]
I Ewent to see the C#mdoctor to tEalk about my C#mpain
He Esaid you're not alC#mone here, we Ball worry about the same
To F#mmake the whole Aworld like you Is nEot a silver Agoal
It's F#mlove without condAitions that is C#mgonna make you Bwhole
[Chorus]
but EI hide in the E7shade of my Asilhouette
and I C#mfade like a Eburning Acigarette
I C#mstruggle to find some Bpeace of mind
But Esusend up so Eunsatisfied
'cause my Aself esteem is G#mdrifting Bwith the C#mtide
