	        G  
I was six years old  
G7  
When my parents went away  
C                        D  
I was stuck inside a broken life  
  
I couldn't wish away  
     G  
She was beautiful  
G7                      C  
She had everything and more  
                   D                          C  
And my escape was hiding out and running for the door  
C                 D  
Somebody listen please  
C                           D  
It used to be so hard being me  
D             G  
Living in the shadow  
                  G7  
Of someone else's dream  
                 C                                  D  
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me  
              G  
Living in a nightmare  
               G7  
A never-ending sleep  
                   C  
But now that I am wide awake  
                    D  
My chains are finally free  
                   G  
Don't feel sorry for me  
  
G  
All the days collided  
G7  
One less perfect than the next  
C                   D                                         G  
I was stuck inside someone else's life and always second best  
                    G7                C  
Oh, I love you now 'cause now I realize  
                             D              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  
                    G7  
Of someone else's dream  
                       C                             D  
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me  
G  
Living in a nightmare  
                 G7  
A never-ending sleep  
                        C  
But now that I am wide awake  
      D  
Then I can finally be me  
               G  
Don't feel sorry-  
  
C  
Mother, sister, father, sister, mother  
G  
Everything's cool now  
C  
Mother, sister, father, sister, mother  
G  
Everything's cool now  
D  
Oh, my life is good  
C  
I've got more than anyone should  
D  
Oh, my life is good  
C  
And the past in the past  
G  
I was living in the shadow  
                   G7  
Of someone else's dream  
                  C                                     D  
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me  
                   G  
I'm living in a new day  
                  G7  
I'm living it for me  
                        C  
And now that I am wide awake  
                   D  
Then I can finally be  
                   G  
Don't feel sorry for me  
G7                                      C  
Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me  
G                                       G7  
Living in, living in, living in the shadow  
C                                     D  
Living in, living in, living in a new day
