(Continue in next vocals, single hit)
Stole my chances helplessly
Yeah but I have no regrets
Money is on the table

D5
Living with the living

Shadow of your love x 4
(Sorry I can't do the solo, I mean tab it, lazy *yawn*)
(Now the last verse has a stumming bass, and a single hit with no

Hope you heard, baby all I said
You've been told
What's been read
No use crying you're as good as dead
(Except this part do the Ryth.Fig 2 and 2A)
Now I'm reckless
Gonna have some fun
With a woman was dead who was out all night
And that's the only one
And I ain't standing
never standing in the
Shadow of your love x 8
