D#m                                     D#m  
Gone, It's hard for me to see when I'm wrong
                                      D#m 
It's hard for me to weep when I'm strong
                                    D#m/G#m
But I could never sleep when you're gone
        D#m
Oh but still
                         D#m  
If you were gonna crucify me
                          D#m 
I wouldn't want nobody to see
                              D#m/G#m   A#
'Cause you could kick me hard when I'm down
 B           C#m
Down, down, down

         B         F#
I don't want wanna be
         C#m
Nobody's fool
                   B      F#           B  D#m
I've played that part so many times before
              F#
How I long to be
         B
A shadow on the wall
        F#      C#      D#m
I will make no sound at all
                       F#
And when the sun goes down
           B
The shadow on the wall
       F#      C#    D#m
It cannot be seen at all
 D#m    D#m 
At all

Over it
Hey it's not that you would mess with my head
I believe that you believe what you said
You think you know me best and you care
But that's not fair!
Cause I don't really want to be safe
It must have been the way I was raised
Sleep with one eye open I say
Hey hey hey

I don't wanna be
Nobody's fool
I've played that part so many times before
How I long to be
A shadow on the wall
I will make no sound at all
And when the sun goes down
The shadow on the wall
It cannot be seen at all
At all

Oh
How long to be
A shadow on the wall
I would make no sound at all
At all
