Verse 1:
G5
You like me to smile
                 A#
Speak softly and call you baby
G5
 Once in a while
                           A#
You say you like me just a little crazy
    C                               D
But every time I start to speak my mind
  C     F                              D
I hear fading footsteps leaving me behind

Hard as I  try I can’t keep it inside

Verse 2:
G5
When I was a child
               A#
My devils were so well hidden
G5
 Biding their time
                   A#               C
They’d wait for my inhibitions to fall
                              D
And when I’d start to lose my mind
C  F                                  D
C  voice inside me straightens up my spine
      G5   C  G5
Never let go
C          G5  C    D    G5
Don’t let it show


Chorus:
G5
Shame the devil
G5
Tell the truth shame the Devil

Verse 3:
G5
You want to float on the surface
G5
I was cursed with a deeper purpose
G5
My river runs to the sea
                       A#          C  G5
I’ll never be what you ask of me
G5
I might not save your soul
                        A#
But I can take you down to the shoals
  G5
Below the surface where the shadow grows
G5
Let me take you down to the shoals
           C                   D
And if you ever tire of being blind
      F                                  C      D
I can teach you how to swim where the water’s fine
            G5  C  G5
Down in the Shoals
C        G5   C    G5
Down in the Shoals
C        G5   C    G5
Down in the Shoals
C            D       G5
Down in the Shoals
