Title:
“Chasing Shadows”

Full song lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[G] Running down the [D] alleys of [Em] yesterday
[C] Flames of the past still [G] burning in a [D] twisted play
[G] We were young, [D] we were fierce, [Em] living without [C] fears
[G] Chasing shadows, [D] drowning in our [C] tears

(Chorus)
[G] Chasing shadows in the [D] moonlight [Em]
[C] Trying to catch what’s [G] out of sight [D]
[G] Running from the [D] reality, [Em]
[C] Lost in our [G] own peculiar [D] fatality

(Verse 2)
[G] We danced under the [D] starry skies [Em]
[C] Dreaming big, no room for [G] compromise [D]
[G] Time went by, [D] and wounds were [Em] healed,
[C] In the game of life, we [G] learned to wield [D]

(Chorus)
[G] Chasing shadows in the [D] night [Em]
[C] Trying to hold on [G] tight [D]
[G] Running from the [D] truth, [Em]
[C] Lost in the [G] echoes of our [D] youth
