D                 Em           G                                                               
i go out walking early in the mornings
Bm                            A
you’re probably sleeping or still hungover
G               Bm
quiet evenings reading in the twilight
A                               G
of all the things that cross my mind

D                 Em           G    
we’re getting older, i hear your grandpa died
Bm                            A
i read it in the paper it caught me by surprise
G               Bm
it made me think of when i lost mine
A                               G
when i asked you said that you were fine

Bm              A/C#  D         G
and i would not be surprised to find
D                           A
you’d forgotten my name by now

Bm              A/C#  D         G
no i could not see as time went by
D                           A
my shadow fading out

D                 Em           G    
i’m tough as nails, i test it all the time
Bm                            A
i make my bed and then i lie
G               Bm
i try to say what’s mine is mine
A                               G
but it’s just another story line

D                 Em           G    
i’ve tried to think what happened to the fire
Bm                            A
its burning out made me into a liar
G               Bm
made me feel like i’d been shooting shadows
A                               G
letting all what really mattered go
