Shadow Chords by Simpson Ashlee
G
I was six years old
D
When my parents went away
Em C
I was stuck inside a broken life
G
I couldn't wish away
She was beautiful
D Em
She had everything and more
C D
And my escape was hiding out and running for the door
C
Somebody listen please
D C
It used to be so hard being me
G
Living in the shadow
D
Of someone else's dream
C F
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
G
Living in a nightmare
D
A never-ending sleep
C
But now that I am wide awake
F
My chains are finally free
G
Don't feel sorry for me

G
All the days collided
D
One less perfect than the next
C F G
I was stuck inside someone else's life and always second best
D C
Oh, I love you now 'cause now I realize
F C
That it's safe outside to come alive in my identity
C D
So if you're listening
C D
There's so much more to me you haven't seen
G
Living in the shadow
D
Of someone else's dream
C F
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
G
Living in a nightmare
D
A never-ending sleep
C
But now that I am wide awake
F
Then I can finally be me
Don't feel sorry-
C
Mother, sister, father, sister, mother
D
Everything's cool now
C
Mother, sister, father, sister, mother
D Am
Everything's cool now
D
Oh, my life is good
Am
I've got more than anyone should
D
Oh, my life is good
G
And the past in the past
G
I was living in the shadow
D
Of someone else's dream
C F
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
G
I'm living in a new day
D
I'm living it for me
C
And now that I am wide awake
F
Then I can finally be
G
Don't feel sorry for me
D C
Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me
G D
Living in, living in, living in the shadow
C G
Living in, living in, living in a new day
