[Intro]  E  C#m  B7 Dm/G B7  Am  B7  E

E                 C#m            B7  Dm/G  B7
I look up and the hills seem far away 
           A    B7       E
They still say more than you 
E                C#m              B7  Dm/G  B7
And on my back I see these clouds above 
           A       B7        E
They still love me more than you 

A                  A5/F#            E
And I know I don't have to wait for words 
                                    Am    Am6
I could walk away and listen to the birds
              E
Listen to the birds
A                       A5/F#            E
Coz they don't sing the things I wanna hear 
                                 D              A
They don't change, they stay the same, when I'm near 

E                  C#m         B7  Dm/G  B7
But I would dearly love to run away 
          A          B7       E
From your shadow for just one day 
E                  C#m         B7  Dm/G  B7
Coz I would dearly love to run away 
          A          B7       E
From your shadow for just one day 

And I don't never want to steal your time 
Coz you seem fine and I feel blue 
And I don't wanna say the things I do 
Coz I know I feel it more than you 

And I know I don't have to wait for words 
I could walk away and listen to the birds 
Listen to the birds 
Coz they don't sing the things I wanna hear 
They don't change 
They stay the same when I'm near 

I would dearly love to run away 
From your shadow 
For just one day 
I would dearly love to run away 
From your shadow for just one day 

Oh well, I know I don't have to wait for you, 
I could turn around and find someone new 
Find someone new 
Someone that says the things I need to hear 
Doesn't change, stays the same when I'm near 

I would dearly love to run away 
From your shadow for just one day 
Oh well, I would dearly love to run away 
From your shadow for just one day 
Oh well I would dearly love to run away 
 
                                  F#m7
From your shadow for just one day
