Shadow Chords

"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

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

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
Then I can finally see
               G
Don't feel sorry-

Bridge:
C
Mother, sister, father, sister, mother
G
Everything's cool now
C
Mother, sister, father, sister, mother
G
Everything's cool now
F
Oh, my life is good
C
I've got more than anyone should
F
Oh, my life is good
C                      G
And the past in the past

G
I was 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
I'm living in a new day
                  F
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
F                                      G
Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me
F                                      G
Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me
G                                   F
Living in, living in, living in the shadow
C                              F
Living in, living in, living in a new day
