[Intro 1]

[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]This a no[Asus4][D]
You should have [Asus4]met the guy, I've been saying it so often,
it's like a swingin' [Gsus2]party, and
I'm the [D]only one [Asus4]not invited.
Where those [D]dilettantes wave their wits like wands,
and curse the [Gsus2]livin' for not sn[D]atchin'
[Asus4]days like prizes.
There's [Gsus2]tar poised
at the waterfront.
Your gas [D]bottle heater is
a bin filled with [Bm]ice
And I'm [Gsus2]overdressed to
miss the [Asus4]point
[G]When I [Em]wake up from a
trop[Asus4]ical slumber
So [Em]far away from even just
[Asus4]making the numbers
But I could [D]never see you [G]in the light
[Gsus2]What chance have I
got finding [G]you in [D]shadow?
I'll take the notes, know it's [G]a road
[Gsus2]I'll meet you someday
out there [G]in the [D]shadow
You would've loved [Asus4]the guy
[D]Eyes like windows out to a 37 [Gsus2]-letter
[D]Dr.
[Asus4]Seuss invention
Propellants fanning the motors
Pink smoke rising and [D]lowering
Stairwells [Gsus2]dipping,
waves surviv[D]ing just to [Asus4]reach you
You [Gsus2]existin' just for what you want
Could leave [D]you a miss on
the calamities you [Bm]name
You give [Gsus2]me far more
than you could grab
But you [Asus4]can't take it with you,
the wis[A]dom, [Asus4]candor
You give me the [A]wild lies,
the [Asus4]horseshit, the slander
I could nev[D]er see you in the [G]light
[Gsus2]What chance have I got finding
[G]you in [D]shadows?
You left me off the list, hey,
another [G]night
[Gsus2]I'll meet[G] you [D]out there
Sunday in the shadows
[Gsus2]Go[Asus4][Bm][D][G][D]
[G][Asus4][A][Bm][D][Asus4]
[A][G][D][G][A][Bm][D]
[G][D][G][Asus4][A][Bm][D]
[G][D]
If I could never see you in the [Bm]light
[G]What [D]chance have I got find
[G]ing [D]you in shadows?
I'll take the notes, I know that it's alright
[G]I'll mee[D]t you someday out there in [G]the sha[D]dows[Bm]
[G][Asus4][A][D]

Oh, [Asus4]oh, oh, o[A]h,[D][Bm]
[G]oh, [Asus4]oh, oh[A]
