         D
There's some girls
                                     A
Some girls that really just want to hurt you
             D
And there's some boys
                                           A
Some boys that laugh when they break your heart

     G
But how love dies
                         D
Is a place that I'm not going
     G
Now we could try

Chorus:
                   Bm
If you're feeling small
G                A
I'll love your shadow
                       Bm
And if you're feeling small
G                  A
I'll love your shadow

There are those girls
Those girls that are waiting by
the phone on the weekend
Oh yeah, like those boys,
those boys that are home with the broken hearts

But the heart wants fear
So we're looking for a villain
I'll be there

Chorus

When the lights go down
I will stand right beside you
If you're feeling small
I´ll love your shadow
I´ll love your shadow!

                           G
Oh, I know that they have hurt you
                         Bm                  A
Oh, I know the love you gave feels cheap and used
                         G
And I know it's getting harder
                           Bm                A
And I know the lights have all gone dark on you
                         G
Still I will love your shadow
                   Bm                  A
When the love you gave feels cheap and used
                        G
Yes, I will love your shadow
                     Bm                A
When the lights have all gone dark on you

     G
But how love dies
                         D
Is a place that I'm not going
     G
And we could try

Chorus:
If you're feeling small
I will love your shadow
And if you're feeling small
I'll love your shadow
When the lights go down
I will stand right beside you
If you're feeling small
I´ll love your shadow
I´ll love your shadow!
