[Intro]
Am     Am
[Verse 1]
Every Amevening when the sun goes down I Dsit here Ein my Amroom
And the Amlamplight streaming over me proDjects my Elonely Amgloom
My Ccounterpart in agony Fmocks each tear that Efalls
AmAnd I cast a lonesome shadow on these Dlonely, Elonely Amwalls
[Verse 2]
He's Amalways by my side at night no Dmatter Ewhere I Amgo
He Amlurks out in the darkness or Din the Eneon's Amglow
He Cfollows me across the steps and Fup and down the Ehall
And I Amcast a lonesome shadow on these Dlonely, Elonely Amwalls
[Istrumental]
Am    D E Am    D E Am
[Verse 3]
I Amsit and watch the candle and the Dflicker Eof the Amflame
My Amwrithing shadow twists and turns as Dthough it Eis in Ampain
I'm Ctrying to escape the memoFry my heart reEcalls
And I Amcast a lonesome shadow on these Dlonely, Elonely Amwalls
[Verse 4]
The Amimage of a love I lost and Dall the Ethings I'd Amplanned
Are as Amempty as this bottle that DI hold Ein my Amhand
My Csoul is buried in the depths of Flove and life's pitEfalls
And I Amcast a lonesome shadow on these Dlonely, Elonely Amwalls
*slowly*                                                 *pick*
I Ccast a lonesome Amshadow on these Flonely, Elonely wallsAm6

Am D E Am

Every evening when the sun goes down I sit here in my room

Am D E Am

And the lamplight streaming over me projects my lonely gloom

My counterpart in agony mocks each tear that falls

Am D E Am

And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls

[Verse 2]

Am D E Am

He's always by my side at night no matter where I go

Am D E Am

He lurks out in the darkness or in the neon's glow

C F E

He follows me across the steps and up and down the hall

Am D E Am

And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls

[Istrumental]

Am D E Am D E Am

[Verse 3]

Am D E Am

I sit and watch the candle and the flicker of the flame

Am D E Am

My writhing shadow twists and turns as though it is in pain

C F E

I'm trying to escape the memory my heart recalls

Am D E Am

And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls

[Verse 4]

Am D E Am

The image of a love I lost and all the things I'd planned

Am D E Am

Are as empty as this bottle that I hold in my hand

C F E

My soul is buried in the depths of love and life's pitfalls

Am D E Am

And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls

*slowly* *pick*

C Am F E Am6

I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls
