Verse 1:
  G
I was six years old
G7
When my parents went away
C                        A7
I was stuck inside a broken life

I couldn't wish away
     G
She was beautiful
G7                      C
She had everything and more
                  Eb                            
And my escape was hiding out 
and running for the door


Refrain:
C                 D
Somebody listen please
Am                           D
It used to be so hard being me


Chorus 1:
               G
Living in the shadow
                  F
Of someone else's dream
                  C
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


Verse 2:
G
All the days collided
G7
One less perfect than the next
C                  Eb
I was stuck inside someone else's 
                       G
life and always second best
                    G7                C
Oh, I love you now 'cause now I realize
                          Eb            
That it's safe outside to come alive in my identity


Refrain:
C                D9
So if you're listening
C                                D9
There's so much more to me you haven't seen


(Repeat Chorus 1)

Bridge:
Am                                  F
Mother, sister, father, sister, mother

Everything's cool now
Am                                  F
Mother, sister, father, sister, mother

Everything's cool now
Dm               F
  Oh, my life is good
                            Dm
I've got more than anyone should
                  F
Oh, my life is good
                       G
And the past is in the past


Chorus 2:
               G
Living in the shadow
                  F
Of someone else's dream
                  C
Trying to find a hand to hold but 
every touch felt cold to me
            G
Living in a new day
              F
living in for me
                       C
But now that I am wide awake
                       F
My chains are finally free
                     G
Don't feel sorry for me



Outro:
           F                           C       
Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me
F                                        G F C F
Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me

G                                         F
Living in, living in, living in the shadow
C                            A7           G F
Living in, living in, living in a new day
