[Spoken Word Intro: Duff McKagan & Steven Adler]

Loosen up, you guys

One, two

One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]

Took my changes carelessly

I said, I choked on my own cigarette

You can hand me another bottle of whiskey, baby

But you haven't seen the worst yet

[Pre-Chorus]

Now I'm reckless, gonna have some fun

I had a woman who had said it was all alright

Now I'm back, the only one

[Chorus]

And I ain't standin'

Never standin' in the shadow of your love (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Shadow of your love

Shadow of your love (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Shadow of your love, oh, no

[Verse 2]

Stole my changes helplessly

I said, yeah, but I got no regrets

Money, it was on the table

So I booked with all the bets

Livin' like you're livin' ain't so hot

And you ain't my idea

Of a high-rollin' shot

[Chorus]

So I ain't standin'

I'm never standin' in the shadow of your love (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Shadow of your love

Shadow of your love (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Shadow of your love, oh, no, mmm

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

High-price callin', hangin' over your head

I hope you've heard, baby, all I've said

You've gone cold or even misread

No use cryin', you're as good as dead

[Pre-Chorus]

Now I'm reckless, gonna have some fun

I had a woman who had said it was all alright

Now I'm back, the only one

[Chorus]

And I ain't standin'

Never standin' in the shadow of your love (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Shadow of your love

Shadow of your love (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Shadow of your love

Shadow of your love (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Shadow of your love

Shadow of your love (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Shadow of your love

[Outro]

Shadow, shadow

Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Shadow of your love

Oh, no
