It seems like yesterday that my world fell from the sky
Bm            D                 A               G
It seems like yesterday I didnt know how hard I could cry

Wipe the tears from my eyes

Verse 2: *same as verse 1
Every day is a new day I'm reminded of my past

Got nothing left to hide

All that shit about me being with him, can't believe
         G                          F
All the lies that you told just to ease your own soul
         Am                      C
But I'm bigger than that, no you don't have my back
G       F

Hey how long til the music drowns you out?

Don't put words up in my mouth, I didn't steal your boyfriend
Am                   C

Don't be worried, I'm not with him
           G                          F
And when I go out tonight, I'm going home alone

Just got back from my tour, I'm a mess, girl, for sure
      G                            F
All I want is some fun, guess that I had a run
     Am                        C
Hollywood sucks you in, but it won't spit me out

Hey how long 'til you look at your own life?
           G                   F
Instead of lookin into mine, I didn't steal your boyfriend
Am                       C
Hey how long 'til you're leavin me alone?
           G                      F

You don't know me, like you, knew me
A                 G       D                            G
you stopped listening, the moment that I needed you the most
A                   G
you can't see me, like you saw me,
A             G    D                                          G
truth comes easy, but it's hard for you to pull me from the ground

cuts me inside and leaves me worse, there's no way back,

A          G         D                                G

Say Goodbye

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

Shadow

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else
                 D                        A
and you wanna go out and kill yourself

when you get yourself depressed

because you think you can't do your best
A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song

to remind yourself that you forgot

time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.
