Tom: G5 

       G5 
I was six years old 
G5 
When my parents went away 
C5                        D5 
I was stuck inside a broken life 
 
I couldn't wish away 
     G5 
She was beautiful 
G5                      C5 
She had everything and more 
                   D5                          C5 
And my escape was hiding out and running for the door 
C5                 D5 
Somebody listen please 
C5                           D5 
It used to be so hard being me 
D5             G5 
Living in the shadow 
                  G5 
Of someone else's dream 
                 C5                                  D5 
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me 
              G5 
Living in a nightmare 
               G5 
A never-ending sleep 
                   C5 
But now that I am wide awake 
                    D5 
My chains are finally free 
                   G5 
Don't feel sorry for me 
 

G5 
All the days collided 
G5 
One less perfect than the next 
C5                   D5                                         G5 
I was stuck inside someone else's life and always second best 
                    G5                C5 
Oh, I love you now 'cause now I realize 
                             D5              C5 
That it's safe outside to come alive in my identity 
C5               D5 
So if you're listening 
C5                                D5 
There's so much more to me you haven't seen 
                  G5 
Living in the shadow 
                    G5 
Of someone else's dream 
                       C5                             D5 
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me 
G5 
Living in a nightmare 
                 G5 
A never-ending sleep 
                        C5 
But now that I am wide awake 
      D5 
Then I can finally be me 
               G5 
Don't feel sorry- 
 

C5 
Mother, sister, father, sister, mother 
G5 
Everything's cool now 
C5 
Mother, sister, father, sister, mother 
G5 
Everything's cool now 
D5 
Oh, my life is good 
C5 
I've got more than anyone should 
D5 
Oh, my life is good 
C5 
And the past in the past 
G5 
I was living in the shadow 
                   G5 
Of someone else's dream 
                  C5                                     D5 
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me 
                   G5 
I'm living in a new day 
                  G5 
I'm living it for me 
                        C5 
And now that I am wide awake 
                   D5 
Then I can finally be 
                   G5 
Don't feel sorry for me 
G5                                      C5 
Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me 
G5                                       G5 
Living in, living in, living in the shadow 
C5                                     D5 
Living in, living in, living in a new day
