Shadow Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I was six years old
When my parents ran [C]away
I was stuck inside a [Cm]broken life
I [Eb]couldn't wish [G]away
She was beautiful
She had everything and [C]more
And my escape was [Cm]hiding out
and running for [C]the door

[Verse 2]
Somebody listen [D]please
It [Am]used to be so hard being [D]me
Living in [G]the shadow
Of someone else's [F]dream
Trying to find a hand [C]to hold but
every touch felt cold [F]to me
Living in [G]a nightmare
A never-ending sleep
[F]sleep
But now that I am wide [C]awake
My chains are finally [F]free
Don't feel sorry for [G]me

[Verse 3]
All the days [G]collided
One less perfect than [C]the next
I was stuck inside someone [Cm]else's
life and always second [G]best
Oh, I love [F]you now [G]'cause
now I real[C]ize
That it's safe outside to
[Cm]come alive in my iden[C]tity

[Verse 4]
So if [D]you're listening
There's [Am]so much more to me
you haven't [D]seen
Living in [G]the shadow
Of someone else's [F]dream
Trying to find a hand [C]to hold but
every touch felt cold [F]to me
Living in [G]a nightmare
A never-ending sleep
[F]sleep
But now that I am wide [C]awake
Then I can finally [F]see

[Verse 5]
Don't feel sorry for me
[Am]Mother, sister, father, sister,
[F]mother
Everything's cool now
[Am]Mother, sister, father, sister,
[F]mother
Everything's cool [Dm]now
Oh, my life is [F]good
I've got more than anyone [Dm]should
Oh, my life is [F]good
And the past in the past
[G]

[Verse 6]
I was living in the shadow
Of someone else's [F]dream
Trying to find a hand [C]to hold but
every touch felt cold [F]to me
I'm liv[C]ing in a new [G]day
I'm living it for [F]me
And now that I am wide [C]awake
Then I can finally [F]be
Don't feel sorry [G]for me
Don't feel [F]sorry,
don't feel sorry [C]for me
Don't feel [F]sorry,

[Interlude 1]
don't feel sorry for me
[G][F][C][F]

[Verse 7]
[G]Living in, living in, living in the shadow
[C]Living in, living in, living [Cm]in a [Eb]new da[G]y
