A shadow crossed my window, it wasn't you, it wasn't anyone I [E] knew.
A voice that said forever, it wasn't me or anyone that I could see.
A shadow crossed my window, it wasn't you, it wasn't anyone I knew.
A voice that said forever, it wasn't me or anyone that I could see.
Didn't [A] you lie, you lied, [G] didn't [B] you?
[A] Didn't I cry, I [G] cried, didn't [F#] I?
Couldn't [B] be a dream, had to [E] be real to [A] make [E] me feel alive.
[F#m] [B]
[E] It's [B] so hard [A] to see things [E] clearly when [B] you're too [F#] [B] close to it.
[E] And [B] when life [E] starts closing in, you try to [B] make [F#m] the most [B] of it.

[Bm] It's [E] not anyone [F#m] I can [E] see, it's not [D] me, [E] throw the shadow [D] across [E] my window.
La la la.

Marching [G] behind [E] a marching band floor.
Came a star-struck [G#] drummer, [E] beatin' the drum.
With his hands in his pockets, I'm a-marching along.
I rode a green horse and you rode a red.
Red mean and green team, it's red and black.
Not a hair on a girl's comfortable back.
