Shadow In The Window Chords by Michael Mcdermott

_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ So I took a drive over to his house, _ _ though I knew he wasn't there _ _
He was always standing looking out that window _ _ or sitting in his easy chair _
_ He was always a bit of a mystery
_ Always seemed so far away _ _
_ _ Even when he was [B] standing next to me, we [E] never had that much to say _ _
_ [B] He would always hear me coming or going _
_ From a million miles away
[E] _ _
_ [C#m] I'd see his silhouette in [B] the window _
Every [E] time I pulled [C#] out of the [F#] driveway _
_ _ _ _ Now [B] there's a shadow in the window that's missing
_ _ [E] There's a shadow in the window that's gone
I _ _ wanna tell you I love you
_ And I'm doing my best to be strong
And hold [B] on
I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ always wondered what he was thinking
_ _ Was he waiting for me to crash?
_ _ Or maybe he just wanted to come with me
[E] But I never thought to ask
_ _ [F#] _ [B] And I wondered what he was doing
_ Watching me every time I drove [E] away
_ [B] _ [C#m] And I wonder what he [B] did that for
Maybe [E] he just wanted me [F#] to stay _ _ _ _
Now [B] there's a shadow in the window that's missing
_ [E] There's a shadow in the window [B] that's gone _
I only wanna tell you I love you
_ [E] And I'm doing my best to be strong _
[C#] _ [B] And maybe I'll see you in heaven
_ [E] At least that's how the story goes _
Now [B] there's a shadow [A#m] in the window [G#m] that's missing
[F#] And I'm [E] having a hard [F#] time letting [B] _
go
[C#m] And maybe [G#m] he felt like [F#] a prisoner
[B] Bound [C#m] by invisible [G#m] chains
And [F#] all [B] around him
[C#m] It took more [G#m] out of life than [F#] it took out [B] of him
He [E] said, son, I want you _ _
So [F#] much better than [G#m] me _
[F#] _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ [G#m] _ _
[F#] _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ He told so many stories _ _
I was never sure which ones were true _ _
_ But he was too big for this small town
He [E] was an Irishman through and through _
_ [B] And the bagpipes moaned on that cold day
_ [E] That they relayed him to rest _
_ [C#m] But all I could say is [B] I'd drive away
[E] I'm sorry that it [F#] came to this
_ _ _ Now [B] there's a shadow in the window that's missing
There's [E] a shadow in the window that's gone
I _ [B] _
only wanna tell you I love you
[E] And I'm sorry that things went so wrong
_ [B] And maybe I'll see you in heaven
[E] At least that's how the story goes
Now [B] there's a shadow [A#m] in the window [G#m] that's missing
[F#] And I'm [E] having a hard [F#] time letting [B] go _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] Hey, I love you, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I do _
Hey, I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ love you, I do _ _ _ _ _ _
Hey, I love _ you, love you, love you, love [E] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ you
Hey, I love you, love you, _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ love you, [B] love you _ _ _ _ _ _ _
