Shadow — Ashlee Simpson
Chords and lyrics for Shadow by Ashlee Simpson (key of G).
Verse 1
I was [G]six years old
[D]When my parents went away
[Em]I was stuck inside a [D]broken life
I couldn't wish away
She [G]was beautiful
[D]She had everything and [Em]more
And my escape was [D]hiding out and running for [C]the door
[C]Somebody listen [D]please
[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]cold to me
Living in a [G]nightmare
A never-ending [Em]sleep
But now that I am [D]wide awake
My chains are [C]finally free
Don't feel sorry [G]for 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 [D]come alive in my [C]identity
[C]So if you're [D]listening
[C]There's so much more to me you [D]haven't seen
Living in the [G]shadow
Of someone else's [D]dream
Trying to find a hand [Em]to hold but every touch felt [D]cold to me
[G]Living in a nightmare
[D]A never-ending [Em]sleep
But now that I am wide [D]awake
Then I[C] can finally be me
Don't feel [G]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
[G]And the past in the past
[G]I was living in the shadow
Of someone else's [D]dream
Trying to find a [Em]hand to hold but every touch felt cold [D]to me
I'm living in a new[G] day
I'm living it for [D]me
And now that I am wide [Em]awake
Then I can finally [D]be
Don't feel sorry [G]for me
[D]Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for [C]me
[G]Living in, living in, living in the [D]shadow
[C]Living in, living in, living in a new [G]day
