Dont Shut Me Down

[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

[Verse 1]
  Cm       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 felt 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

[Próxima Parte]
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        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

[Refrão]
F/A Bb C A7
To not so bad in my transformation

[Chorus]

And love and hope is why I am here now
