Capo 3
[G]A while ago, I heard the sound of children's laughter
[Em]Now it's quiet, so I guess they left the park
[Am]This wooden bench is gettin' harder by the hour
The [D]sun is goin' down, it's gettin' [G]dark [D7]
I [C]realise I'm cold, the [D]rain begins to pour
As I [Bm]watch the windows on the second [Em]floor
[Am]The lights are on, it's time to go (ooh)
[D]It's time at last, to let him know [Am] [D]
I be [Am]lieve it would be fair to say [D]..."You look be [G]wildered" [Em]
And you [Am]wonder why I'm here today [D]...And so you should, I [G]would
When I [C]left I felt, I've had enough [G]But, in the shape and [Am]form I ap [G]pear now [C]
I have [F]learned to cope, and [C]love and hope is [F]why I am [G]here [E7]now
[A]And now you see another me, I've been reloaded, yeah
[F#m]I'm fired up, don't shut me down
[Bm]I'm like a dream within a dream that's been decoded
I'm [E]fired up, I'm hot, don't shut me [A]down [E7]
I'm [A]not the one you knew I'm [E]now, and then combined
And I'm [F#m]askin' you to have an open [D]mind (And I [A]won't be the same)
[D]I'm not the same this time ar [A]ound (ooh)
[E]I'm fired up, don't shut me [F#m]down [Bm] [E]
Will you [Bm]leave me standin' in the hall? [E]...Or let me [A]enter? [F#m]
The a [Bm]partment hasn't changed at all [E]...I've got to say, "I'm [A]glad" [F#m]
Once these [D]rooms were witness to our love [A]My tantrums and in [Bm]creasing frust [A]ration [D]
But I [G]go from mad, to [D]not so mad In [G]my transfor [A]mation [F#7]
[B]And now you see another me, I've been reloaded, yeah
[G#m]I'm fired up, don't shut me down
[C#m]I'm like a dream within a dream that's been decoded
I'm [F#]fired up, I'm hot, don't shut me [B]down [F#7]
I'm [B]not the one you knew I'm [F#]now, and then combined
And I'm [G#m]askin' you to have an open [E]mind (And I [B]won't be the same)
[E]I'm not the same this time ar [B]ound (ooh)
[F#]I'm fired up, don't shut me [E]down
You [F#]ask me not to leave Well, here I am again
And I [B]love you still and so I won't [G#m]pretend
I have [E]learnt to cope, and [B]love and hope is [E]why I am [F#]here now [B]
