Intro:

G
 
 
Verse 1:
G
Old town behind us
          Em
I used to fly
     D
Pour yourself a drink
              C
That's when I slide
G
Always looking for another way out
              Em
Never just at ease
     D
When everybody settles down to revel
                      C
That's when I have to leave
Pre-Chorus:
C
Staring down forever
D          Em
Feels like more than I can take
 
 
Chorus:
G
This is all I am
C           G
Here in Everdene
C          G            D
All I ever wanted was a reason to believe
              G
But Iโ€™ve been holding on to everything
   C            G
As tightly as I can
C     G               D
Oh my God, Iโ€™m just a shadow of a man
         Em        G     C    G
And itโ€™s more than I can hold
 
 
Verse 2:
G
I watch as they sit still
              Em
With my green eyes
D
All that I wish that I could be
           C
Makes me a liar
    G
I'm moving like a snake among the weeds
         Em
Why am I sly?
D                                           C
I will never know what it means for you and I
 
 
Pre-Chorus:
C
Staring down forever
D          Em
Feels like more than I can take
 
 
Chorus:
G
This is all I am
C           G
Here in Everdene
C          G            D
All I ever wanted was a reason to believe
              G
But Iโ€™ve been holding on to everything
   C            G
As tightly as I can
C     G               D
Oh my God, Iโ€™m just a shadow of a man
            Em
'Cause I've stared over the edge
         C             G
And I've seen where it leads
C                 G
God, what I would give
           D
If I could only feel at ease
        G
And I'm holding on too tight
          C             G
Take this cup out of my hands
C     G               D
Oh my God, I'm just a shadow of a man
         Em   D    G     C
And it's more than I can hold
Em   D    G     C      G
More than I can hold
 
 
Verse 3:
G
When it's quiet, when it's still
   C           G
Go easy if you can
C                 G              D
Sometimes I thank God I'm just a shadow of a man
            G
'Cause I've seen over the edge
        C           G
There's reason to believe
  C                G
I feel it pull too tight
         D
Wrap its arms around me
