"Shadow"
Verse:
G
I was six years old
F C
When my parents went away
F
I was stuck inside a broken life
G
I couldn't wish away
She was beautiful
F C
She had everything and more
G C
And my escape was hiding out and running for the door
Prechorus:
C G
Somebody listen please
C F
It used to be so hard being me
CHORUS:
G
Living in the shadow
F
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
F
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
Verse2:
G
All the days collided
F C
One less perfect than the next
F G
I was stuck inside someone else's life and always second best
F C
Oh, I love you now 'cause now I realize
G C
That it's safe outside to come alive in my identity

So if you're listening
C F
There's so much more to me you haven't seen
CHORUS:

Living in the shadow

Of someone else's dream

Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me

Living in a nightmare

A never-ending sleep

But now that I am wide awake

Then I can finally see

Don't feel sorry-

Mother, sister, father, sister, mother

Everything's cool now

Mother, sister, father, sister, mother

Everything's cool now

Oh, my life is good

I've got more than anyone should

Oh, my life is good

And the past in the past

I was living in the shadow

Of someone else's dream

I'm living it for me

Living in, living in, living in a new day
