Whether we're wrong

deep in the night

F G C

It's a dreamer's game

We heed those voices a little too often

It's just me and you

in a picture window frame

Two long shadows

under the moonlight again

[Interlude]

G C G C F

G C

You know my story

G C

better than most,

F G C

you played a leading part

G C

You only had

G C

a couple of lines,

F G C

but you know the script by heart

[Prechorus]

You've been thinking 'bout living in this world

Am F

alone without a friend

We heed those voices a little too often,

but it's just me and you

in a picture window frame

Two long shadows

G C F

under the moonlight again

[Interlude]

Your beautiful shadow

G C F

reaching out to mine

chasing after time

merging into one

We're just shadows

G C F

caught in morning sun

[Outro]
