Title:
“Chasing Silhouettes”

Full song lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Am D G C
Look into the mirror, see a stranger looking back at me
Am D G C
Living in the shadows, lost in a dream that’s hard to reach
Am D G C
Oh, life is a puzzle, trying to fit the pieces in
Am D G C
Chasing silhouettes, in the dark, where do I begin?

(Chorus)
Em C G D
Running, running, chasing silhouettes
Em C G D
Drifting, drifting, lost in my regrets
Em C G D
Searching, searching, for the light within
Em C G D
Chasing, chasing, silhouettes in the wind

(Verse 2)
Am D G C
Faces in the crowd, voices fading in the noise
Am D G C
Riding in the fast lane, living life void of choice
Am D G C
Oh, time’s a thief, stealing moments unseen
Am D G C
Chasing silhouettes, through the dark, into the unseen

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)
F G Am C
Lost in the echoes, I hear your voice
F G Am C
In the midst of the chaos, I make my choice
F G Am C
To chase the silhouette, until it takes form
F G Am C
Into the dawn, where a new day is born

(Repeat Chorus)
