[Intro] Ebm Abm Ebm Bb [Verse 1]
  Ebm             Abm            Ebm
I do not care for princely grace

                                Bb
or honeyed words from powerderd faces

     Ebm               B          Db
that perfrume scent of wealth and pride

    Gb         F  Bb
has me sick to death.
[Verse 2]
   Ebm                Abm
My heart is light, my dreams are wild

   Ebm                     Bb
I want to live life to the fullest

     Ebm
free as a bird

    B       Db     Gb
and burning like a spark

   B                 E
Instead I serve some dark

    Bb
And invisible ghost
[Chorus]
          Ebm            Db
My shadow always follows me

          B            Bb
no matter how I try to flee

         Ebm             Db
I cannot crawl out of my skin

        B              Bb
I can't espace my destiny

          Ebm       Db
It wasn't my choice

           B             Bb
to be what I was born to be

             Ab
But it's my fate, I can't break free

          B              Bb
My shadow always follows me
[Verse 3]
      Ebm         Abm      Ebm
What good is immortality

                          Bb
to someone who had hardly known life

    Ebm            B      Db
The stale smell of laurel wreath

  Gb          F  Bb
reminds me of death.
[Verse 4]
     Ebm          Abm        Ebm
What is a perfect symphony

                            Bb
compared to making love all night long?

     Ebm
No sound, no tune

      B    Bb       Gb
comes ever near the bliss

    B             E
of some forbidden kiss.

         F
Theres's so much I miss.
[Chorus]
          Ebm            Db
My shadow always follows me

          B            Bb
no matter how I try to flee

         Ebm             Db
I cannot crawl out of my skin

        B              Bb
I can't espace my destiny

          Ebm       Db
It wasn't my choice

           B             Bb
to be what I was born to be

             Ab
But it's my fate, I can't break free

          B              Bb
My shadow always follows me
[Bridge]
B
Wants spoil every joy I feel,
chores put in my shoulders
Bbm
Doubts ask if I'm good enough,

                                    B
although I know I'm better than the rest!
As you watch inspired, patronised, and blighted
    F
Sometimes I want to be just like everybody else

             Bb
and start to live!
[Chorus]
              Ebm            Db
But my shadow always follows me

          B            Bb
no matter how I try to flee

         Ebm             Db
I cannot crawl out of my skin

        B              Bb
I can't espace my destiny

          Ebm       Db
It wasn't my choice

           B             Bb
to be what I was born to be

             Ab
But it's my fate, I can't break free

          B              Bb
My shadow always follows me
[Chorus]
          Em             D
My shadow always follows me (I feel a shadow)

          C            B
no matter how I try to flee

         Em              D
I cannot crawl out of my skin (taking away the air to breathe!)

        C              B
I can't espace my destiny

          Em        D
It wasn't my choice   (I cannot flee)

           C             B
to be what I was born to be (I cannot flee)

            A                  C         B              Em
But it's my fate! (No, never!) My shadow always follows me!
