My Shadow In Vain Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Stroll to the café my God how time flies
And I [C]close up my brain
an[G]other friend [Em]dies
[D]

[Verse 2]
And me I'm just [C]the [G]sam[D]e
Soaking up [C]Broadway
Nightlife in Detroit
And [G]I'd buy [Em]these [D]New[C] Yor[G]k[Em][D]
[Eb]ladi[C]es If these ligh[D]t
[Eb]weren't so bright
And [C]me I wasn't there
[D]

[Verse 3]
[Eb]Stagger down main stre[C]et
A knife in my [D]side
[Eb]And I fa[C]ll to the gutter
In [Bb]tears but with pride
And me I'm feeling okay
[D]

[Verse 4]
Moving out of Central this
villain knows me well
Says he'll [C]spill the whole story
He might be ly[G]ing, I can't [Em]tell[D]
And me I'm not that [C]kind

[Interlude 1]
[G][D]
[Eb]

[Verse 5]
I've [C]been [D]searching [Eb]for
my shadow in [C]vain
How can I be still [D]while [Eb]my
[C]lifelin[D]e[Eb]
remains
I've been [C]searching for my
shadow in [Bb]vain
How can I be still while my
lifeline remains with him

[Verse 6]
[Bb]Try [D]to steal a needle Bring
peace to my head
And I'm stumbling down
the alleys I find killers instead
And me I'm the cause of it all

[Verse 7]
Street corner women [D]are taking their toll
Now they look at me, I'm dying
And I'm growing old
And me I'm loving it all

[Verse 8]
I've [D]been searching
for my shadow in vain
How can I be still while my lifeline remains
I've been searching for my
shadow in vain
How can I be still while my
lifeline remains with him
