Alec Benjamin - Shadow Of Mine

[intro]
Bm  F#m  Bm  F#m

[verse 1]
Bm
Booked a trip to Texas,
F#m
thought I'd start again
Bm
Switched out my addresses
    F#m
and ghosted all my friends
Bm
Thought I could escape
       F#m
what I could not transcend from
        E
myself back in the same old place again

[chorus]
                    Bm
Everywhere I go, my shadow,
             F#m
it follows behind
                       Bm
Doesn't matter where I travel,
              F#m
my shadow, it finds me

Something that I've come
   Bm                     F#m
to realize after all this time
                  E
I can't escape my shadow,
I can't escape my shadow

[verse 2]
Bm
Maybe I'm the nexus,
    F#m
the common threat that binds
    Bm
The problems in my head
        F#m
and thе world that is outside
  Bm                              F#m
I thought I could escape but it's fatе,
I've come to find
   E
My devil is the devil that's inside

[chorus]
                     Bm                  F#m
Everywhere I go, my shadow, it follows behind
                       Bm
Doesn't matter where I travel, my shadow,
   F#m
it finds me
                            Bm
Something that I've come to realize
               F#m
after all this time
                  E
I can't escape my shadow,
I can't escape my shadow

[post-chorus]
D        F#m
It won't ever let me go
E       Bm
It goes everywhere I go
D        F#m
It won't ever let me go
     E
This shadow, this shadow of mine (Of mine)
D      F#m                      E
    We grapple, we battle, but we
    Bm                 D
Are shackled for eternity
   F#m
We grapple, we battle
      E
We're shackled, we're shackled, we're shackled

[chorus]
                    Bm
Everywhere I go, my shadow,
             F#m
it follows behind
                       Bm
Doesn't matter where I travel,
              F#m
my shadow, it finds me

Something that
             Bm                     F#m
I've come to realize after all this time
                  E
I can't escape my shadow,
I can't escape my shadow

[post-chorus]
D        F#m
It won't ever let me go
E       Bm
It goes everywhere I go
D        F#m
It won't ever let me go
     E
This shadow, this shadow of mine (Of mine)
