Intro:  F#m 

                    F#m 
Wanna know where I don't go 
                          F#m 
When it goes from OK to a oh no 
                                F#m 
When it goes from hi five to a low blow 
                                 F#m 
When it goes from all five to a solo 
                         F#m 
Lemme tell you what you don't know 
                F#m 
I been down so low I was 
                             F#m 
Looking for something but denying that I found it 
           F#m 
There's an elephant sitting in the room 
                                 F#m 
And I can't find another way to tiptoe around it 
         F#m 
I been doing greater good for a long time 
    F#m 
But I can't find any other way to give now 
        F#m 
I been putting myself on the sideline 
               F#m 
And it's been time so I'm saying can I live now 
                        F#m 
There are times when I kick myself 
 F#m 
Say I'm not sick but I can't get well 
 F#m 
Say I got this while I chase my tail 
   F#m 
As if they can't tell

                      F#m 
I'm running from my shadow 
 E 
Running from my shadow 
           B                     A 
But it's still there chasing me down 
                    F#m 
I'll never win the battle 
 E 
Never win the battle and 
    B                      A 
I should have known it by now 
                        F#m          E 
Just when I think I've found the end 
                 B          A 
I'm going back around again 
                  F#m 
Running from my shadow 
 E 
Running from my shadow 
           B                     A 
But it's still there chasing me down 

 F#m 
Light side's got a dark side to it 
 E 
Daytime flows into night like fluid 
     B/D# 
The yin and the yang with a curved line through it 
     D 
And none of it's illuminating why I do it 

F#m 
 Maybe I didn't want to chase what was not right 
E 
 Maybe I didn't want to face you were offsides 
B/D# 
 Thinking I was far away from a crossed line 
D 
 But I was giving soft praise to a hard lie 
F#m 
 There are things that you say and you don't say 
E 
 My tongue's gotten real tired of me biting it 
B/D# 
 'Cause I keep on following the wrong way 
D 
 Time's come and I can't keep denying it 
F#m 
 There are times when I kick myself 
 E 
Say I'm not sick but I can't get well 
 B/D# 
Say I got this while I chase my tail 
        D 
As if they can't tell

                      F#m 
I'm running from my shadow 
 E 
Running from my shadow 
           B                     A 
But it's still there chasing me down 
                    F#m 
I'll never win the battle 
 E 
Never win the battle and 
    B                      A 
I should have known it by now 
                        F#m          E 
Just when I think I've found the end 
                 B          A

But it's still there chasing me down 

Bridge 

F#m                  E 
  I love you but I know 
                 B/D# 
I gotta let you go 
                  D 
Dancing with the devil 
                            F#m 
Cause she's all I've ever known 
              E 
Wanted to pretend 
                       B/D# 
That this time was the end 
              D 
Sorry but I guess 
                       F#m 
I gotta let you down again 
F#m 
Again 
F#m 
Again
