Artist - Rick Miller

Album - In The Shadows
INTRO - Em
Acoustic 1
VERSE 1 Acoustic 2
I'm counting each day as this life slips away
It's time to let go of the past
The things that I feel, they no longer seem real
I walk in the shadow I've cast.
Heavy Slide - Use volume to bring the notes in
I'm holding the line like a man out of time Acoustic 2
I need to get back to the light
The blood in these veins holds a lifetime of pain
D Em Acoustic 2
I don't know which battles to fight. AD LIB
Heavy Slide - Use volume to bring the notes in
CHORUS Acoustic 2
I reach for your hand through the darkening mist
I look at the face in the mirror
The eyes looking back at me don't recognize me
Take me down to the waters of Lethe
Wash my hands in the river
Lead me through to the other side Acoustic 2
Where I'll dream this lifetime away
Heavy Slide - Use volume to bring the notes in
I remember the day that they took you away
A teardrop of blood on my hands
Heavy Slide - Use volume to bring the notes in
--s--s---
And now that you're gone I won't stay here for long
You know that I must make amends.
Heavy Slide - Use volume to bring the notes in
-2-----s---
CHORUS Acoustic 2
The names and the places I once knew so well
Now seem to be fading away
The strangers around me now
seem way to close to me
Take me down to the waters of Lethe
Wash my hands in the river
Lead me through to the other side Acoustic 2
Where I'll dream this lifetime away.
Take me down to the waters of Lethe
Wash my hands in the river
Lead me through to the other side Acoustic 2
Where I'll dream this lifetime away.
Heavy Slide - Use volume to bring the notes in
A Cool Tune Enjoy......
