Shadow Ashlee Simpson
"Shadow"
I was s[G]ix years old
[D]When my parents went away
[Em]I was stuck inside a broke[D]n life
I couldn't wish away
She w[G]as beautiful
[D]She had everything and [Em]more
And my escape was h[D]iding out and running for t[C]he door
[C]Somebody listen pl[D]ease
[C]It used to be so hard being [D]me
[D]Living in the [G]shadow
Of someone else's [Em]dream
Trying to find a [D]hand to hold but every touch felt c[C]old to me
Living in a ni[G]ghtmare
A never-ending [Em]sleep
But now that I am w[D]ide awake
My chains are finall[C]y free
Don't feel sorry fo[G]r me
[G]All the days collided
[Em]One less perfect than the next
[D]I was stuck inside someone else's life and always second best[G]
Oh, I love you now '[D]cause now I realize[Em]
That it's safe outside to com[D]e alive in my i[C]dentity
[C]So if you're lis[D]tening
[C]There's so much more to me you ha[D]ven't seen
Living in the shad[G]ow
Of someone else's dr[D]eam
Trying to find a hand t[Em]o hold but every touch felt col[D]d to me
[G]Living in a nightmare
[D]A never-ending s[Em]leep
But now that I am wide a[D]wake
Then I[C] can finally be me
Don't feel sorr[G]y-
[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
[G]And the past in the past
[G]I was living in the shadow
Of someone else's d[D]ream
Trying to find a h[Em]and to hold but every touch felt cold t[D]o me
I'm living in a new[G] day
I'm living it for [D]me
And now that I am wide a[Em]wake
Then I can finally [D]be
Don't feel sorry fo[G]r me
[D]Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for [C]me
[G]Living in, living in, living in the shad[D]ow
[C]Living in, living in, living in a new [G]day
