"Shadow Play"

Gm C
GmI can feel it in the airG 
I can feel iGmt young and strong
Like an intoGxicating dare
(Like an intGmoxicating dare)
For some resGidue of joy
Simple pleasuresGm and delights
Would you buy thGat ruthless ploy
Would you buGmy that ploy?
GMark my words
It'Cs not quite what Gmyou thought

Shadow play   G 
CDiGmrected by you
GLove portrays Ms. Take
CThGme Oscar goes to hate
Dragons slain  G 
CThe princess rescueGmd 
GmIt's all what you crGeate
CYour shadows will be played   Gm  

And here now comes the sweet caress
Unreality to guide us
With a forceful righteousness
(With a forceful righteousness)
And you can taste the kiss of death
More divine than breath I know
Always just the right address
Just the right caress
Mark my words
It's not quite what you thought

Shadow play
Directed by you
Love portrays Ms. Take
The Oscar goes to hate
Dragons slain
The princess rescued
It's all what you create
Your shadows will be played
GmSo this is what you think you need
To play Gthe game
CA pretty royal flush
GmOf second hand fame

For proof of excellence
For critGical acclaim
CAloof preeminence
PrecGmeding your pen name

Clichés of violence
And Goff mark blame
CSome character flaws
To mastiGmcate the shame
Sex in a dress iGn a wide array
CSex in a suiGmt, hello, happy birthday
GMark my words
CIt's never what Gmyou thought

Shadow play
Directed by you
Love portrays Ms. Take
The Oscar goes to hate
Dragons slain
The princess rescued
It's all what you create
Your shadows will be played
It's all what you create
Your shadows will be played
