Lyrics
SHADOW IN THE DARK
VERSE 1
D G He's my best friend and you're his girl . He's your everything he's your
D
whole world .
D A D
I love you too more than him. But you think of me as just a friend.
G A D
So I'll have to keep my feelings to myself.
CHORUS
G D A Like when a tree falls in a forest and no one hears. Or like crying inside
G D
when no one sees the tears.
G D
My love for you will stay forever hidden in my heart. A G A D Never seen or heard by anyone like a shadow in the dark.
VERSE 2
D G He'll break your heart but you don't know. Wouldn't believe me if I told
D
you so.
D A Wish you could see you belong with me. But I realize that that can't be. G A D So I'll have to keep my feelings to myself. REPEAT CHORUS
G A D G D
Like a shadow in the dark
