(chorus)
C F
I'm not a shadow
Am G
I'm not the ground beneath your feet
C F
Cause I'm not a shadow
Am G
When you look down you won't see me
C F
I stand up and I stand tall
Am G C F
I don't follow anyone, I'm not a shadow
Am G
Cause I'm not a shadow, oh no, no
(verse 1)
C F
This dude don't settle and never separate
Am G
And never be quiet cause the words you say
C F
You never go back on and never turn around
Am G
Never judge another cause how stupid it sounds
C F
Cause when you see others knowing they're all brothers
Am G
Knowing they're all sisters, seeing the big picture
C F
If they not with ya, then they're against
Am G
And we're here now when they are way back when
C F
So why try to please everyone?
Am G
When it seems all the people really want
C F
Is to show love out and to get love back
Am G
It's to show some faith and to get respect
C F
Just look at the world and you look at the problems
Am G
And look at the hatred and we still can't solve it
C F
So look inside and you'll find step one
Am G
Forget a diamond, I'm shining like the sun
(chorus)
C F
I'm not a shadow
Am G
I'm not the ground beneath your feet
C F
Cause I'm not a shadow

Am G
When you look down you won't see me
C F
I stand up and I stand tall
Am G C F
I don't follow anyone, I'm not a shadow
Am G
Cause I'm not a shadow, oh no, no
verse 2
C F
Here's to you on your own, the innocent criminal
Am G
You never fit the mold, you never could sit down
C F
You'll never go get approval how matter you prove
Am G
That love is the motive in everything you do
C F
And revolution is you and you're against the machine
Am G
You know who you are and you know what I mean
C F
And when this record stops you will never slow down
Am G
When the video is over you want your turn now so
C F
You make your truth and move it straight ahead
Am G
While the followers behind you get left for dead
C F
And for the imminent brainwashed who follow the dumb rules
Am G
Created by individuals someone like you don't
C F
Care for the world or care for the people
Am G
They love it their way and they love unequal
C F
And they love when they feel above someone
Am G
I don't follow the leader when they're all wrong
(chorus)
C F
I'm not a shadow
Am G
I'm not the ground beneath your feet
C F
Cause I'm not a shadow
Am G
When you look down you won't see me
C F
I stand up and I stand tall
Am G C F
I don't follow anyone, I'm not a shadow
Am G
Cause I'm not a shadow, oh no, no
at the end... one more time
(x2)
