Ashlee Simpson
"Shadow"
Well, I've met with several versions of Shadow on this site that don't satisfy
me as much, and me being the biggest Ashlee Simpson lover in town (yeah, sounds
weird for a 'Tallica fan), I might as well throw in my effort on this one.
This are the chords (I THINK) you actually need to play:
(Mostly so you can do the 'fill-ins' the guitar has on the intro and verses).

**on A7, you can let all other strings ring except for high-E, it'll sound cool, specially at the end**
I was six years old
When my parents went away
I was stuck inside a broken life
I couldn't wish away
She was beautiful
She had everything and more
And my escape was hiding out and running for the door
Somebody listen please
It used to be so hard being me
Living in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
Living in a nightmare
A never-ending sleep
But now that I am wide awake
My chains are finally free
Don't feel sorry for me
All the days collided
One less perfect than the next
I was stuck inside someone else's life and always second best
Oh, I love you now 'cause now I realize
That it's safe outside to come alive in my identity
So if you're listening
There's so much more to me you haven't seen
Living in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
Living in a nightmare
A never-ending sleep
But now that I am wide awake
My chains are finally free
Don't feel sorry for me
Mother, sister, father, sister, mother
Everything's cool now
Mother, sister, father, sister, mother
Everything's cool now
Oh, my life is good
I've got more than anyone should
Oh, my life is good
And the past is in the past
I was living in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
I'm living in a new day
I'm living it for me
And now that I am wide awake
Then I can finally be
Don't feel sorry for me
Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me
Living in, living in, living in the shadow
[arpeggio]
Living in, living in, living in a new day

I might have gotten something wrong, if so, then leave it at the comment box... but
try playing along the record, and then try doing it without the record, and you'll
see these notes fit better than any others right now at Ultimate-Guitar.
