[intro]

Bb
  A while ago I heard the sound of children's laughter
Gm
  Now it's quiet, so I guess they left the park
Cm
  This wooden bench is getting harder by the hour
    F                               Bb        F/A
The sun is going down, it's getting dark

Bb
  I realise I'm cold
F/A
  The rain begins to pour
     Bb/D                            Gm       ( Gm(add9) Gm )
As I watch the windows on the second floor
Eb                                    Eb  Bb/D  Bb  F
  The lights are on, it's time to go (ohooo..)
F            Bb              Eb/G
It's time at last to let him know

[verse1]

Cm Cm F F

Cm                               F
I believe it would be fair to say
F            Bb       Gm
 You look bewildered
        Cm                       Ab
And you wonder why I'm here today
    Eb/G             Bb
And so you should, I would
       Eb                  Bb/D
When I left I'd had enough
Bb/D                 Cm        Eb/Bb
But in thе shape and form I ..appear now
       Ab
I have lеarned to cope
    Eb/G          Ab           Bb        G
And love and hope is why I am here now

[chorus]

C
  And now you see another me, I've been reloaded, yeah
Am
  I'm fired up, don't shut me down
Dm
  I'm like a dream within a dream that's been decoded
    G                                C     G
I'm fired up, I'm hot, don't shut me down

    C
I'm not the one you knew
    G/B
I'm now and then combined
        Am                         F       C/E       F
And I'm asking you to have an open mind (I won’t be the same )
 F                                 C/E    G/D
I'm not the same this time around (ohooo..)
G         C/G               F/A
I'm fired up, don't shut me down

[verse 2]

Dm Dm G G 

Dm                                    G
Will you leave me standing in the hall
G         C      Am
Or let me enter?
    Dm                            Bb
The apartment hasn't changed at all
   F             C
I got to say I'm glad

           F
Once these rooms were witness to our love
C/E                 Dm         F/C
  My tantrums and increasing.. frustration
      Bb
But I go from mad
   F/A        Bb         C         A7
To not so bad in my transformation

[chorus]

D
  And now you see another me, I've been reloaded, yeah

Em
  I'm like a dream within a dream that's been decoded
    A                                D    A
I'm fired up, I'm hot, don't shut me down

    D
I'm not the one you knew (Im not the one you knew)
    A/C#
I'm now and then combined
Bm                                 G       D/F#     G
And I'm asking you to have an open mind (I won’t be the same )
