Mike Shinoda - Running from my shadow

Wanna know where I d^F#mon’t go When it goes from OK to a ^F#moh no When it goes from hi five to a l^F#mow blow When it goes from all five to a s^F#molo Lemme tell you what you d^F#mon’t know I been down / s^F#mo low / I was Looking for something but deny^F#ming that I found it There’s an ^F#melephant sitting in the room And I can’t find another way to ^F#mtiptoe around it I been^F#m doing greater good for a long time But I ^F#mcan’t find any other way to give now I been p^F#mutting myself on the sideline And it’s been t^F#mime so I’m saying can I live now There are times when I k^F#mick myself S^F#may I’m not sick but I can’t get well S^F#may I got this while I chase my tail As i^F#mf they can’t tell

I'm running from my sh^F#madow R^Eunning from my shadow but it’s st^Bill there chasing me d^Bmown I’ll never win the b^F#mattle N^Eever win the battle and I sh^Bould have known it by n^Bmow Just when I think I’ve f^F#mound the end / o^Ehhh I’m going back ar^Bound again / o^Bmhhh Running from my sh^F#madow R^Eunning from my shadow but it’s st^Bill there chasing me d^Bmown

^F#mLight side’s got a dark side to it D^Eaytime flows into night like fluid The y^Bin and the yang with a curved line through it And n^Bmone of it’s illuminating why I do it

^F#m Maybe I didn’t want to chase what was not right ^E Maybe I didn’t want to face you were offsides ^B Thinking I was far away from a crossed line ^Bm But I was giving soft praise to a hard lie ^F#m There are things that you say and you don’t say ^E My tongue’s gotten real tired of me biting it ^B ‘Cause I keep on following the wrong way ^Bm Time’s come and I can’t keep denying it ^F#m There are times when I kick myself S^Eay I’m not sick but I can’t get well S^Bay I got this while I chase my tail As if th^Bmey can’t tell

I'm running from my sh^F#madow R^Eunning from my shadow but it’s st^Bill there chasing me d^Bmown I’ll never win the b^F#mattle N^Eever win the battle and I sh^Bould have known it by n^Bmow Just when I think I’ve f^F#mound the end / o^Ehhh I’m going back ar^Bound again / o^Bmhhh Running from my sh^F#madow R^Eunning from my shadow but it’s st^Bill there chasing me d^Bmown

^F#m I love you but I kn^Eow / I gotta let you g^Bo Dancing with the d^Bmevil cause she’s all I’ve ever kn^F#mown Wanted to pr^Eetend / That this time was the e^Bnd Sorry but I g^Bmuess I gotta let you down a^F#mgain ^F#mAgain ^F#mAgain
