      E
Take Leave
     A         E
the conscious mind
 A       E
Found myself
       A    E
to be so inclined
  A    E
Why sleep
    A     E
in discontent?
A        E
Oh the price
       A      E
of companionship
A
oh...

Chorus:
G#        C#m
My shadow runs with me
     F#                  A
underneath the Big Wide Sun
G#        C#m
My shadow comes with me
      F#
as we leave it all
    A                  E
we leave it all Far Behind

Ah, empty pockets will
Allow a greater sense of wealth
Why contain yourself
Like any other book on a shelf?

Chorus:
My shadow lays with me
Underneath the big wide sun
My shadow stays with me as we leave it all
We leave it all far behind

A       B             A
Subtle voices in the wind,
A          B               A
Hear the truth they're telling
A          B                  A
A world begins where the road ends
A      B                 E  A E
Watch me leave it all behind
A      E
Far Behind
A      E
Far Behind
