“Chasing Shadows”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am | G | F | C
In the heart of the city, under neon lights,
Am | G | F | C
We run wild like the river, chasing shadows in the night.
Am | G | F | C
The echoes of our laughter, beneath the starry sky,
Am | G | F | C
Our dreams are ever-after, in this world where we abide.
(Chorus)
Dm | F | C | G
Chasing shadows, living dreams,
Dm | F | C | G
In this city that never sleeps,
Dm | F | C | G
We are wild, we are free,
Dm | F | C | G
In our hearts, forever we’ll be.
(Verse 2)
Am | G | F | C
Through the rhythm of the streets, in the heartbeat of the night,
Am | G | F | C
We dance to our own beats, beneath the moon’s soft light.
Am | G | F | C
The echoes of our voices, in this cityscape we roam,
Am | G | F | C
These moments are our choices, in this world we call home.
(Chorus)
Dm | F | C | G
Chasing shadows, living dreams,
Dm | F | C | G
In this city that never sleeps,
Dm | F | C | G
We are wild, we are free,
Dm | F | C | G
In our hearts, forever we’ll be.
