The Way I Was (CHORDS) by Jem & The Holograms
[Verse 1]~
D
I've been here in this place
Em
I've been stuck in this space
Bm G
Like a ghost that's been missing its life
D
Silent words in my mouth
Em
Yeah,.. they want to scream out
Bm G
And I'll leave my old shadow behind
Am Bm G
In my heart and out of my mind
Oh-woah
[Chorus]~
D
I'll go,.. but I won't go quietly
Em
Go down,.. but I'll go down fighting
Bm
Don't know where,.. don't know why
G
But I can't go back,.. back to the way I was
D
I'll show who I am from the inside
Em
Gonna take my walk on the wild side
Bm
Don't know where,.. don't know why
G
But I can't go back,.. back to the way I was
D
Oh-woah,.. oh-woah,.. oh
Em
Oh-woah,.. oh-woah,.. oh
Bm
Oh-woah,.. oh-woah
G
No,.. I can't go back,.. back to the way I was
[Verse 2]~
D
I'm the leaf,.. I'm a seed
Em
That's been waiting for spring
Bm G
I'm a girl reinventing herself
D
We might fall,.. we might rise
Em
We are all butterflies
Bm G
Breaking free from our jars on the shelf
Am Bm
Finding out the truth for ourselves
Oh-woah
[Chorus]~
D
I'll go,.. but I won't go quietly
Em
Go down,.. but I'll go down fighting

Don't know where,.. don't know why
