Tubeway Army
My Shadow In Vain
Tubeway Army (1978)

[        ee  e ]
[ E := ee  ee  ]

E  x 4  basse

E                                           w/ P.M.
Stroll to the cafe
My God how time flies
D(sus4)
I close up my brain
     A(sus4)             g f♯
And another friend dies

E  x 2

I feel like a mirror
Feel like nothing is mine
I could go back to crying
But now dying seems fine

E  x 2

So I hang from the ceiling
Or I sit on the air
Or rot in a corner
Until somebody cares

E  x 2

Faces at random
I quote people I knew
I'd love to be like me
If I could feel like you

E  x 4

  F(sus4)         D(sus4)         E
  Here am I, more Roché Five than pain
  Here am I, just me and my walls to blame
  Here am I, I really don't feel quite sane
  Here am I, still searching for my shadow in vain         fin:
  
  C
  Lock my door I only think in black and white
  C                              !d
  I'll even try to look ashamed

E  x 4

Moving out of Central
Somebody knows me well
Says he'll spill the whole story
He may be lying I can't tell

E  x 2

Meet me inside
I'll keep my head to the floor
And one hand on the handle
Of the mad/sane door

E  x 4

  Refrain

E  w/ My shadow in - vain  x 20
