[Bb] A while ago I heard the sound of [Gm] children's laughter, now it's quiet so I guess they left the park.
.
[Cm] This wooden bench is getting hotter by the hour, [F] the sun is going down, [Bb] it's getting [F] dark.
[Bb] I realize I'm cold, [F] the rain begins to pour, [Bb] as I watch the windows of [Gm] the second floor.
[Eb].
The lights are on, it's time to go, [Bb] [F] .
it's time [Bb] at last to let him [Eb] know.
[Cm] .
[F] .
[Cm] I believe it would be fair to [F] say, you [Bb] look bewildered, [Gm] [Cm] and you wonder why I'm here [Ab] today, [Eb] and so you [Bb] should, I would.
[Eb] When I left I felt I'd had [Bb] enough, but in this [Cm] shaping floor I [Eb] appear now.
[Ab] I am in [Eb] hope, another [Ab] hope is why [Bb] I am here [G].
now.
[C].
And now you see another me, I've been [Em] reloading [Am] yet, I'm wide up, don't shut me down.
[Dm].
I'm like a dream within a dream that's been decoded, [G] .
I'm not [C] the [G] [C] .
one you knew, [G] I'm now a little more, [Am] and I'm asking you to have an [F] open mind.
[C] [F].
I'm not the same this time around, [C] [G].
I'm [C] quiet, I'm not [F] shut me down.
[Dm] .
[G] .
[C] [Dm] Will you leave me standing in the [G] hall, or let [C] me enter?.
[Am] [Dm] The apartment hasn't changed at [Bb] all.
[F] Not to say [C] I'm glad, [F] once these rules were witnessed to our [C] love.
My temper's [Dm] an increasing [F] frustration, [Bb] but I go from [F] mad to not so [Bb] glad in my [C] transformation.
[A] .
[D].
And now you see another me, I've been reloading [Bm] yet, I'm wide up, don't shut me down.
[Em].
I'm like [Bm] a dream within [Em] a dream that's been [A] [Em] decoded, [A] .
I'm not [D] the [A] [D].
one you knew, [A] I'm now a little more, and [Bm] I'm asking you to have an [G] open mind.
[D] [G].
I'm not the same this time around, [D] [A].
I'm [D] quiet, I'm not shut [G] me down.
I'm here, [D] you asked me not to leave, [A] well here I am again, and [D] my love is still there, so I [Bm] won't pretend.
.
I [G] have learned to cope, [D] and love and hope [G] is why I [D] am here now.
