[F] Shadows in the [G] moonlight.
(Verse 2)
[C] Echoes of our [G] laughter fill the night,
[Am] Whispered secrets [F] under the moon’s light,
[C] Together we are [G] invincible,
[Am] In our world, [F] everything’s possible.
(Chorus)
[C] Shadows in the [G] moonlight,
[Am] Our stories [F] intertwined,
[C] Here’s to the [G] memories we [Am] have yet to write,
[F] Shadows in the [G] moonlight.

(Chorus)
[C] Shadows in the [G] moonlight,
[Am] This love of [F] ours shinning so bright,
[C] As we dance [G] through the [Am] night,
[F] Shadows in the [G] moonlight.
