Capo: 1st fret
[intro]
A
A while ago I heard the sound of children's laughter
F#m
Now it's quiet, so I guess they left the park
Bm
This wooden bench is getting harder by the hour
E A E/G#
The sun is going down, it's getting dark
A
I realise I'm cold
E/G#
The rain begins to pour
A/C# F#m ( F#m(add9) F#m )
As I watch the windows on the second floor
D D A/C# A E
The lights are on, it's time to go (ohooo..)
E A D/F#
It's time at last to let him know
[verse1]
Bm Bm E E
Bm E
I believe it would be fair to say
E A F#m
You look bewildered
Bm G
And you wonder why I'm here today
D/F# A
And so you should, I would
D A/C#
When I left I felt I'd had enough
A/C# Bm D/A
But in thе shape and form I ..appear now
G
I have lеarned to cope
D/F# G A F#
And love and hope is why I am here now
[chorus]
B
And now you see another me, I've been reloaded, yeah
G#m
I'm fired up, don't shut me down
C#m
I'm like a dream within a dream that's been decoded
F# B F#
I'm fired up, I'm hot, don't shut me down
B
I'm not the one you knew
F#/A#
I'm now and then combined
G#m E B/D# E
And I'm asking you to have an open mind (I won’t be the same )
E B/D# F#/C#
I'm not the same this time around (ohooo..)
F# B/F# E/G#
I'm fired up, don't shut me down
[verse 2]
C#m C#m F# F#
C#m F#
Will you leave me standing in the hall
F# B G#m
Or let me enter?
C#m A
The apartment hasn't changed at all
E B
I got to say I'm glad

Once these rooms were witness to our love
B/D# C#m E/B
My tantrums and increasing.. frustration

But I go from mad

To not so bad in my transformation

It's time at last to let him know

And love and hope is why I am here now
And now you see another me, I've been reloaded, yeah

I have learned to cope
And love and hope is why I am here now
