Title: Shadows & Echoes

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[G] Walking down this [D] lonesome road, [Em] feelings that I [C] cannot decode
[G] Echoes of the [D] past resound, [Em] in my heart where [C] they abound

[Am] Shadows of our [D] love still haunt [G] me [Em], [Am] Echoes of your [D] laughter taunt [G] me [Em]

(Chorus)
[C] Shadows and [G] echoes, [D] love’s mementos
[Em] They’re all that’s [C] left, of our [D] love’s test

(Verse 2)
[G] In the mirror of the [D] past, [Em] images that [C] didn’t last
[G] Shadows of our [D] love remain, [Em] Echoes of our [C] joy and pain

[Am] Shadows of your [D] smile so dear [G] [Em], [Am] Echoes of your [D] voice I hear [G] [Em]

(Chorus)
[C] Shadows and [G] echoes, [D] love’s mementos
[Em] I’m left with these [C] reminders, of our [D] love’s binders

(Outro)
[G] Shadows and [D] echoes, [Em] love’s mementos
[C] They’re all I’ve [G] got, of a [D] love that was [Em] fought
