F#6                          A#
Back to the cold restless streets at night
Bmaj7              G#
Talk to myself about tomorrow night.
F#6                       A#
Walls of white protest a gravestone in name
Bmaj7               C#
Who is it now? It's always the same.

Who is it now? Who calls me inside?
Are the leaves on the trees just a living disguise?
I walk the street rain tragicomedy
I'll walk home again to the street melody.

        B       C#
But I know, oh no
        B       C#
But I know, oh no
        B  C#
But I know.

Chorus:
            F#     E
Shadows and tall trees
            F#     E
Shadows and tall trees
            F#     E
Shadows and tall trees
            F#     E
Shadows and tall trees.

Life through a window, Discoloured pain
Mrs Brown's washing is always the same
I walk the street rain tragicomedy
I'll walk home again to the street melody.

But I know, oh no
But I know, oh no
But I know.

Out there

        F#      E F# E
Do you feel in me
            F#
Anything redeeming
                E
Any worthwhile feeling?
                F#
Is love like a tightrope
               E
Hanging on my ceiling?

But I know, oh no
But I know, oh no
But I know.

Chorus

Shadows, shadows, shadows.
Shadows, shadows, shadows.
Shadows and tall trees.

Shadows, shadows, shadows.
Shadows, shadows, shadows.
Shadows and tall trees.
