Tift Merritt - Shadow in the way

^DBefore a word is spoken, everything is broken, even what you hid inside The world has let you ^Adown, wrung shame out of your ^Dpride ^DBut even as you falter, like sunlight on the water, you shine on my face The darkness in your h^Aeart, it's just a shadow in the ^Dway

^AOh, jus^Gt a shadow in the way ^{D A}Oh, oh, ^Git's just a shadow in the way ^D

^DWhen the fire leaves you, when no one believes you, when you give yourself away To a stranger on the ^Aroad, who gives you nothing in ^Dexchange ^DEven when the door shuts, even though the night cuts, like a silver blade In the morning you ^Awill find, it's just a shadow in the ^Dway

^AOh, jus^Gt a shadow in the way ^{D A}Oh, oh, ^Git's just a shadow in the way ^D

^GThough we're caught in the ^Ddarkness, ^Adon't be af^Graid ^GThough we're caught in the ^Ddarkness, ^Adon't be af^Graid This world of ^Dsorr^Gow, it's just a ^Dshad^Gow This world of ^Dsorr^Gow, it's just a ^Dshad^Gow, it's just a ^Ashadow

^DGot to get up again, and let the light in, throw your tears away That mountain looks so ^Ahigh, it's just a shadow in the ^Dway

^AOh, jus^Gt a shadow in the way ^{D A}Oh, oh, ^Git's just a shadow in the way ^D
