Verse 1: [G – D – Em – C]
(G) Underneath the city lights, (D) we were chasing our dreams,

(G) We found love in the music, (D) found hope in the night,
(Em) In the shadows, we were dancing, (C) bathed in moonlight.
Chorus: [G – D – C]
(G) Chasing shadows, (D) under the stars,
(C) We found our rhythm, (G) we found our hearts.
(G) Chasing shadows, (D) in the dark,
(C) We found our music, (G) we found our spark.
Verse 2: [G – D – Em – C]
(G) Lost in the rhythm, (D) we held on tight,
(Em) To our dreams, to each other, (C) through every fight.
(G) Our music was our refuge, (D) our bond was our strength,
(Em) In the shadows, we were singing, (C) without any restraint.
Chorus: [G – D – C]
(G) Chasing shadows, (D) under the stars,
(C) We found our rhythm, (G) we found our hearts.
(G) Chasing shadows, (D) in the dark,
(C) We found our music, (G) we found our spark.
