Shadow by Ashlee Simpson

"Shadow"
       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
