I got the tab on here for how she sings the song on the cd, and singing and playing
along with the cd killed my voice, and I figured out a way to sing and play without
that happening to me or anyone else by just going one chord higher then the original
tabs and here it is.


(A)
I was six years old
(A7)                (D)
When my parents went away
                    (E)                     
I was stuck inside a broken life 

I couldn't wish away
(A)
She was beautiful
(A7)                (D)
She had everything and more
                (E)                            (D)
And my escape was hiding out and running for the door
(D)               (E)
Somebody listen please
(D)                      (E)
It used to be so hard being me
(E)             (A)
Living in the shadow
                   (A7)
Of someone else's dream
                   (D)                                      (E)
Trying to find a hand to hold, but every touch felt cold to me
             (A)
Living in a nightmare
             (A7)
A never ending sleep
                    (D)
But now that I am wide awake
                    (E)
My chains are finally free
                   (A)
Don't feel sorry for me
(A)
All the days collided
(A7)
One less perfect than the next
(D)                     (E)                            (A)
I was stuck inside someone else's life and always second best
             (A7)                   (D)
Oh, I love you now, 'cause now I realize
                  (E)                        (D)
That it's safe outside to come alive in my identity
(D)                 (E)
So if you're listening
(D)                                    (E)
There's so much more to me you haven't seen
                 (A)
Living in the shadow
                   (A7)
Of someone else's dream
                               (D)                                                 (E)
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
                 (A)
Living in a nightmare
                 (A7)
A never-ending sleep
                        (D)
But now that I am wide awake
    (E)
Then I can finally be me
               (A)
Don't feel sorry...
(D)
Mother, sister, father, sister, mother
(A)
Everything's cool now
(D)
Mother, sister, father, sister, mother
(A)
Everything's cool now
(E)
Oh, my life is good
(D)
I've got more than anyone should
(E)
Oh, my life is good
(D)
And the past is in the past
                      (A)
I was living in the shadow
                    (A7)
Of someone else's dream
                            (D)                                                   (E)
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
                   (A)
I'm living in a new day
                 (A7)
I'm living it for me
                         (D)
And now that I am wide awake
                 (E)
Then I can finally be
                   (A)
Don't feel sorry for me
(A7)                                 (D)  
Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me
(A)                                    (A7) 
Living in, living in, living in the shadow
(D)                                     (E)
Living in, living in, living in the shadow
