I was s ^G ix years old
^G7 When my parents went away
^C I was stuck inside a brok ^D en life

I couldn't wish away
She w ^G as beautiful
^G7 She had everything and m ^C ore
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 ^G7 dream
Trying to find a ^C hand to hold but every touch felt c ^D old to me
Living in a ni ^G ghtmare
A never-ending ^G7 sleep
^A , ^never-ending , ^sleep C
But now that I am w ^C ide awake
My chains are finall ^D y free
Don't feel sorry fo ^G r me

^G All the days collided
^G7 One less perfect than the next
^C I was stuck inside s ^D omeone else's life and always second best ^G
Oh, I love you now ' ^G7 cause now I realiz ^C e
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 ^G7 eam
Trying to find a hand t ^C o hold but every touch felt co ^D ld to me
^G Living in a nightmare
A never-ending sl ^G7 eep
^A , ^never-ending , ^sleep C
But now that I am wide a ^C wake
Then I ^D can finally be me
Don't feel sorr ^G y-

^C Mother, sister, father, sister, mother

Of someone else's d ^G7 ream
Trying to find a h ^C and to hold but every touch felt cold ^D to me
