A#
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 A# F/A
The sun is going down, it's getting dark
A#
I realise I'm cold
F/A
The rain begins to pour
A#/D Gm ( Gm(add9) Gm )
As I watch the windows on the second floor
Eb Eb A#/D A# F
The lights are on, it's time to go (ohooo..)
F A# 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 A# Gm
You look bewildered
Cm Ab
And you wonder why I'm here today

When I left I'd had enough
A#/D Cm Eb/A#
But in thе shape and form I ..appear now
Ab
I have lеarned to cope
Eb/G Ab A# G
And love and hope is why I am here now
[chorus]

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

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 A#
The apartment hasn't changed at all
