My Shadow Always Follows Me chords

[INTRO]
[Ebm] [Abm] [Ebm] [Bb]

[VERSE 1]
I [Ebm]do not care for [Abm]princely grace [Ebm]
or honeyed words from powerderd [Bb]faces
that [Ebm]perfrume scent of [B]wealth and [Db]pride
has [Gb]me sick to [F]dea[Bb]th.

[VERSE 2]
My [Ebm]heart is light, my [Abm]dreams are wild
I w[Ebm]ant to live life to the [Bb]fullest
free [Ebm]as a bird
and [B]burning [Db]like a [Gb]spark
Ins[B]tead I serve some [E]dark
And [Bb]invisible ghost

[CHORUS]
My shadow [Ebm]always follows [Db]me
no matter [B]how I try to [Bb]flee
I cannot [Ebm]crawl out of my [Db]skin
I can't [B]espace my desti[Bb]ny
It wasn't [Ebm]my choice [Db]
to be what [B]I was born to [Bb]be
But it's my f[Ab]ate, I can't break free
My shadow [B]always follows [Bb]me

[VERSE 3]
What g[Ebm]ood is immor[Abm]tality [Ebm]
to someone who had hardly [Bb]known life
The [Ebm]stale smell of [B]laurel [Db]wreath
re[Gb]minds me of [F]dea[Bb]th.

[VERSE 4]
What [Ebm]is a perfect [Abm]symphony [Ebm]
compared to making love all [Bb]night long?
No so[Ebm]und, no tune
comes [B]ever [Bb]near the [Gb]bliss
of s[B]ome forbidden [E]kiss.
Theres's [F]so much I miss.

[CHORUS]
My shadow [Ebm]always follows [Db]me
no matter [B]how I try to [Bb]flee
I cannot [Ebm]crawl out of my [Db]skin
I can't [B]espace my desti[Bb]ny
It wasn't [Ebm]my choice [Db]
to be what [B]I was born to [Bb]be
But it's my f[Ab]ate, I can't break free
My shadow [B]always follows [Bb]me

[BRIDGE]
[B]Wants spoil every joy I feel,
chores put in my shoulders
[Bbm]Doubts ask if I'm good enough,
although I know I'm better than the [B]rest!
As you watch inspired, patronised, and blighted
Some[F]times I want to be just like everybody else
and start to [Bb]live!

[CHORUS]
But my shadow [Ebm]always follows [Db]me
no matter [B]how I try to [Bb]flee
I cannot [Ebm]crawl out of my [Db]skin
I can't [B]espace my desti[Bb]ny
It wasn't [Ebm]my choice [Db]
to be what [B]I was born to [Bb]be
But it's my f[Ab]ate, I can't break free
My shadow [B]always follows [Bb]me

[CHORUS]
My shadow [Em]always follows [D]me (I feel a shadow)
no matter [C]how I try to [B]flee
I cannot [Em]crawl out of my [D]skin (taking away the air to breathe!)
I can't [C]espace my desti[B]ny
It wasn't [Em]my choice [D] (I cannot flee)
to be what [C]I was born to [B]be (I cannot flee)
But it's my [A]fate! (No, never!) [C]My shadow [B]always follows [Em]me!
