AmI close both Glocks below the Fwindow
AmI close both Gblinds and turn Faway
AmSometimes so-Glutions aren't so Fsimple
AmSometimes good Gbye's the only Fway
[Chorus]
And the Csun        Dmwill set for Amyou   F  
The Csun       Dmwill set for Amyou  F  
And the Cshadow of the Gday
Will Amembrace the world in Fgrey
And the Csun        Dmwill set for Amyou   F  
[Verse]
AmIn cards and Gflowers on your Fwindow
AmYour friends all Gplead for you to Fstay
AmSometimes be-Gginnings aren't so Fsimple
AmSometimes good Gbye's the only Fway
[Chorus]
And the Csun        Dmwill set for Amyou   F  
The Csun       Dmwill set for Amyou  F  
And the Cshadow of the Gday
Will Amembrace the world in Fgrey
And the Csun        Dmwill set for Amyou   F

And the Cshadow of the Gday
Will Amembrace the world in Fgrey
And the Csun        Dmwill set for Amyou   F  
And the Cshadow of the Gday

The story behind the song

"Shadow Of The Day" is built around the concept of the Doomsday clock counting down, capturing a sense of impending finality. The band explored numerous keyboard loops and over 60 different beats, even trying instruments like banjos, to find the right feel for this track. This meticulous experimentation shaped the song's unique atmosphere, which ultimately concludes with the Doomsday clock reaching its end. Playing it, you can feel the weight of time running out and the powerful emotion embedded in that final moment.
