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
Bm
Don't know where, don't know why
