[Verse 1]
         G                          F
        Like a muddy river running wild and deep
                       G                        F
        You've got a flaming memory,that keeps burning me
         C/G                                       G
        Just when i think you love me,doubt creeps in
            F               C/G                   G
        I still feel the shadow of your distant friend
[Verse 2]
         G                               F
        It's a major heartache when you lose your trust
                  G                     F
        When you love the feeling,it begins to rust
         C/G                                    G
        Just when the sun is shining,clouds set in
            F               C/G                   G
        I still feel the shadow of your distant friend
[Chorus]
          G               C/G                 G
        I still feel the past each time you touch me
                                         D
        Will the fire in your mind never end
             G             C/G             G  Em
        I'm so afraid our love may turn to ashes
            F               C/G                   G
        I still feel the shadow of your distant friend
[Verse 3]
         G                                   F
        You know i really love you,but your heart's confused
                G                        F
        By that aching fever that keeps haunting you
        C/G                                     G
        Just when i think it's over,it starts again
            F               C/G                   G
        I still feel the shadow of your distant friend
