Title:
“Shadows in the Rain”

Full Song Lyrics:

Verse: (C – G – Am – F)
C G Am F
Look in the mirror, what do you see?
C G Am F
A faded reflection, a memory of me
C G Am F
Running in circles, lost in the pain
C G Am F
We’re just shadows dancing in the rain

Chorus: (Em – F – C – G)
Em F C G
The sun will rise, wash away the gray
Em F C G
But we’re still standing, come what may
Em F C G
Just hold on tight, through joy and pain
Em F C G
We’re everlasting, like shadows in the rain.

(Bridge and final verses continue with same progression)
