The Moody Blues Shadows on the Wall Lyrics

Intro:
B------------------------------8-10>(12)====>10--|
N.C. G Am7 G
When the fan-ta-sy we live in. Lies in pie-ces on the ground.
N.C. G
And there is no false il-lu-sion.
That can turn your heart a-round.

A---------------------------------------------7vvvvv-|
No-thing can change the way I feel. (Change the way I feel.)
No-thing can take your love from me. (Don't tell me that is real.)
If on-ly I didn't wor-ry. If on-ly I could see.
If on-ly I could see.
B----------------------------------------8-10>(12)====>10-|
D-----------------------------5h7-5-7--9------------------|
Chas-ing sha-dows on the wall. (Chas-ing sha-dows on the wall.
Chas-ing sha-dows as they dance the floor.
Chas-ing dreams that were, for-ev-er young.
Now I'm on my own. Chas-ing sha-dows
on the wall. Sha-dows on the wall.
N.C. G Am7 G
On the sea of me-di-o-cri-ty. Drift-ing from a dis-tant shore.
N.C.
No good-byes, no cel-e-bra-tion.
B----------------------15>(17)====vvvv>15-|
No one there to close the door.
D------------------------------------0h2p0-2-|
On-ly the si-lence that I feel. (The si-lence that I feel.)
On-ly the lone-ly road is real. (The lone-ly road is real.)
If on-ly I didn't lose you. If on-ly we could be.
If on-ly we could be.
B-------------------------------------8-10>(12====>10-|
