[Instrumental Intro]
[Saxophone]
[Intro]
I was Chasing Shadows,
But I'm Chasing Dreams.
[Saxophone]
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1]
[Sad Verse]
Yes I Left home, I Left so young.
I was only eighteen, and so,
so headstrong.
My freedom at last, it's my path to choose.
You said to me.
it wouldn’t, No, it wouldn’t last.
[Build]
Chasing Shadows,
Chasing Dreams.
Yes, I was only 18.
I'm Chasing Shadows,
Chasing Shadows.
I'm Chasing Dreams.

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
[Build]
City lights, seem so bright.
On this Path, Day and night
Nowhere, Nowhere to go.
But, now i'm out of sight.
and out of mind.
[Build]
Was my ambition, ambition flawed.
I’m on my own,
Chasing Shadows,
Chasing Dreams.
Yes, I was only 18.
I'm Chasing Shadows,
Chasing Shadows.
I'm Chasing Dreams.
[Instrumental Break]
[Saxophone]
[Saxophone]
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Learning Fast, I was only 18.
The future is mine the city is cold
I’m on my own,
Chasing Shadows,
Chasing Dreams.
Yes, I was only 18.
I'm Chasing Shadows,
Chasing Shadows.
Chasing Dreams.
[Instrumental Break]
[Saxophone]
[Verse 4]
Chasing Shadows Day and night
On my back, to make the rent.
Selling love to just get fed.
In my head, dreams that I have.
I’m on my own,
Chasing Shadows,
Chasing Dreams.
Yes, I was only 18.
I'm Chasing Shadows,
Chasing Shadows.
Chasing Dreams.
[Instrumental Break]
[Saxophone]
[Saxophone]
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
Pockets nearly empty, dreams I’m alive,
On the cold streets, just trying to survive.
Hit the thrift stores.
Bought a guitar.
Sang my songs,
Now I am a star
Chasing Shadows,
I’m Chasing Dreams.
Yes, I was only 18.
I'm Chasing Shadows,
Chasing Dreams.
[Instrumental Break]
[Saxophone]
[Saxophone]
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 6]
I knew they would love me.
The songs, that I wrote.
and I now play them,
under the bright spotlight.
My music playing, playing into the night.
As I remember each one
Each one reminds me
of the darker days I had
I’m Chasing Dreams.
Yes, I was only 18.
I'm Chasing Shadows,
Chasing Dreams.
But i'm
No longer alone.
[Instrumental Break]
[Saxophone]
Yes, I was only 18.
I'm Chasing Shadows,
Chasing Dreams.
[Instrumental Break]

[Fade]
[Saxophone]
[Saxophone]
[Instrumental Break]
Now I’ve stopped chasing those shadows.
Now i'm just living my dreams.
[Saxophone]
Yes, I was only 18.
Just living my Dreams
Living my Dreams
No longer alone.
Just living my Dream
[Instrumental Break]
[Saxophone]
Yes, I was only 18.
Just living my Dreams
Living Dreams.
[Instrumental Break]
[Saxophone]
[Fade To End]
[Saxophone]
[Instrumental Break]
Just living my Dreams
Living Dreams.
[Instrumental Break]
[Saxophone]
[Fade To End]
Living Dreams.
[Fade To End]
