G#m
I'll play your game
But if you lose you're gonna
 C#               B
have to pay the price
Broken chains,
like a prisoner free at last
The fear inside just up and died
Time will tell if I am wrong
It won't be too long

Chorus:
      B                F#
You thing I'm chasing shadows
        E
In the dark
C#m                  G#m
Well I'm not born to lose
I'm not born to lose

You curse my name, as
I turn and walk away, from view
It won't be too long
You don't scare me cos you're
Hard to see and it's time
That you were gone
It won't be too long

Chorus:
You think I'm chasing shadows
In the dark
Well I'm not born to lose

You think I'm chasing shadows
In the dark

D#m
What you gonna do about it now
What you gonna do about it now

G#m              B C#
It won't be too long
It won't be too long
It won't be too long

Chorus:
You think I'm chasing shadows
In the dark
What you gonna do about it now
What you gonna do about it now

Ain't nothing you can do about it now
