Song: Don't Shut Me Down
CAPO III
[intro]
G
A while ago I heard the sound of children's laughter
Em
Now it's quiet, so I guess they left the park
Am
This wooden bench is getting harder by the hour
D G D/F#
The sun is going down, it's getting dark
G
I realise I'm cold
D/F#
The rain begins to pour
G/B Em ( Emadd9 Em )
As I watch the windows on the second floor
C C G/B
The lights are on, it's time to go (ohooo..)
D G/D C/E
It's time at last to let him know
[Interlude]
Am Am D D
[Verse]
Am D
I believe it would be fair to say
D G Em
You look bewildered
Am F
And you wonder why I'm here today
C/E G
And so you should, I would
C
When I left I felt I'd had enough
G/B Am C/G
But in thе shape and form I ..appear now
F
I have lеarned to cope
C/E F G E
And love and hope is why I am here now
[chorus]
A
And now you see another me, I've been reloaded, yeah
F#m
I'm fired up, don't shut me down
Bm
I'm like a dream within a dream that's been decoded
E A E
I'm fired up, I'm hot, don't shut me down
A
I'm not the one you knew
E/G#
I'm now and then combined
F#m D A/C# D
And I'm asking you to have an open mind (I won’t be the same )
D A/C# E/B
I'm not the same this time around (ohooo..)
A/E D/F#
I'm fired up, don't shut me down
[Interlude]
Bm Bm E E
[Verse 2]
Bm E
Will you leave me standing in the hall
E A F#m
Or let me enter?
Bm G
The apartment hasn't changed at all
D A
I got to say I'm glad
D
Once these rooms were witness to our love
A/C# Bm D/A
My tantrums and increasing.. frustration
G
But I go from mad
D/F# G A F#7
To not so bad in my transformation
[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 (Im 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 E B/D#
I'm not the same this time around (ohhooo...)
F# B/F# E
I'm fired up, don't shut me down
B/F#
You asked me not to leave

Well, here I am again
B/D# G#m (break)
And I love you still and so I won't pretend
[Outro]

I have learned to cope
B/D# E F#add11
And love and hope is why I am here now
