A                   G
There I was, just standing in your shadow
      Bm                               A
Just standing in your pool of shade veneer
A                 G
Here I am, still yellowed by the summer
       Bm                             A
Still suffering in silence loud and clear

[Bridge]
A                 F                  A
Well I catch the train, it takes me back
A              F                     E
We leave the rails and the carriage snaps

[Verse 2]
A                   G
There I was, just lying in the kitchen
      Bm                              A
Just listening to voices through the tiles
A                  G
And they said the one thing you can count on
    Bm                               A
Is you can count on nothing here my child

[Bridge]
A                 F                A
Well you dig my grave and slap my back
A            F                  E
And I turn grey on the beaten track

[bridge 2]
A F
F            G
But you hardly notice
              E
You hardly notice

[Chorus]
A
What do you say when they roll a grenade
F
And it almost takes your breath away?
G
Talking to Joe with the head of a crow
E
And it's all gone pear-shaped

[Verse 3]
A                    G
There I was, just standing in your shadow
       Bm                            A
Just suffering in silence loud and clear

[Outro]
A G Bm
A
Standing in your shadow (Standing in your shadow) x2
A
Something's not right (Standing in your shadow)
