Bm             A
Why breathe a word
      G D            F#m
When no one needs to know
Bm          A
Why say a thing
     G    D       F#m F#
To another living soul

Em             A
Let us pay no mind
      D          C       G   D  
To a world that seems unkind
Em                         A
For here is something to shelter
 D   C        G
Now more than ever

Chorus:
          D
Shadow endeavours

Our shadow endeavours

Why leave us open
And naked to the sun
Why draw their fire
That they’ll surely reign upon us

Let us pay no mind
To their words and bitter lines
For here’s something to shelter
And now more than ever

Chorus

Bm         D             Em
Only ever happened to me once
    D            Bm  D  Em
It doesn't come again
    D             Bm
I think somebody left me here
D           A    Em
Afraid and lonely
            Bm
A long time ago - x2
