The Way I Was

	  		
D 
I've been here in this place 
           Em 
I've been stuck in this space 
         Bm                           G 
Like a ghost that's been missing its life 
        D 
Silent words in my mouth 
           Em 
Yeah, they want to scream out 
          Bm                    G 
And I'll leave my old shadow behind 
Am              Bm         G 
In my heart and out of my mind 
Oh-woah 

D 
I'll go, but I won't go quietly 
Em 
Go down, but I'll go down fighting 
Bm 
Don't know where, don't know why 
      G 
But I can't go back, back to the way I was 
D 
I'll show who I am from the inside 
Em 
Gonna take my walk on the wild side 
Bm 
Don't know where, don't know why 
       G 
But I can't go back, back to the way I was 
D 
Oh-woah, oh-woah, oh 
Em 
Oh-woah, oh-woah, oh 
Bm 
Oh-woah, oh-woah 
       G 
No, I can't go back, back to the way I was 

         D 
I'm the leaf, I'm a seed 
             Em 
That's been waiting for spring 
       Bm                G 
I'm a girl reinventing herself 
         D 
We might fall, we might rise 
       Em 
We are all butterflies 
          Bm                        G 
Breaking free from our jars on the shelf 
Am              Bm 
Finding out the truth for ourselves 
Oh-woah 

D 
I'll go, but I won't go quietly 
Em 
Go down, but I'll go down fighting

Don't know where, don't know why

I'll show who I am from the inside

Could be hurt, could be love
