Full Song Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
E A D
Shadows on the wall, dancing in the flame,
E A D
Whispers in the fall, they don’t know my name.
E A D
Caught in the darkness, lost in the game,
E A D
In love with the mystery, bearing no shame.

[Chorus]
G A D
Oh, I’m chasing shadows on the wall,
G A D
Caught in the thrill of it all.
G A D
Can’t hide, can’t stall,
G A D
Lost in the shadows on the wall.

[Verse 2]
E A D
Moonlight in the night, stars in her eyes,
E A D
Caught in her sight, lost in her lies.
E A D
Shadows on the wall tell no lies,
E A D
Caught in the rhythm, under her disguise.

[Chorus]
G A D
Oh, I’m chasing shadows on the wall,
G A D
Lost in the echo of her call.
G A D
Can’t hide, can’t stall,
G A D
Trapped in the shadows on the wall.
