ABBA - Don't Shut Me Down: chords

A#
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                               A# F/A
The sun is going down, it's getting dark

A#
I realise I'm cold
F/A
The rain begins to pour
     A#/D                             Gm
As I watch the windows on the second floor
D#                                D# A#/D A# F
The lights are on, it's time to go (ohooo..)
F            A#              D#/G
It's time at last to let him know

Cm                               F
I believe it would be fair to say
F           A#     Gm
You look bewildered
        Cm                       G#
And you wonder why I'm here today
    D#/G             A#
And so you should, I would
       D#                  A#/D
When I left I felt I'd had enough
A#/D                 Cm      D#/A#
But in the shape and form I appear now
       G#
I have learned to cope
    D#/G          G#           A#     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

     C
I'm not the one you knew
    G/B
I'm now and then combined
        Am                          F
And I'm asking you to have an open mind
    C/E       F
(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

Dm                                    G
Will you leave me standing in the hall
G         C     Am
Or let me enter?
     Dm                            A#
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
      A#
But I go from mad
   F/A        A#          C       A7
To not so bad in my transformation

Chorus:
D
  And now you see another me,
I've been reloaded, yeah
Bm
  I'm fired up, don't shut me down
Em
  I'm like a dream within
a dream that's been decoded
     A                                D  A
I'm fired up, I'm hot, don't shut me down

     D
I'm not the one you knew
(Im not the one you knew)
    A/C#
I'm now and then combined
Bm                                  G
And I'm asking you to have an open mind
    D/F#      G
(I won’t be the same )
G                                  G   D/F#
I'm not the same this time around (ohhooo...)
A         D/A             G
I'm fired up, don't shut me down

    D/A
You asked me not to leave
       A
Well, here I am again
       D/F#                            Bm
And I love you still and so I won't pretend

        G
I have learned to cope
     D/F#              G       A
And love and hope is why I am here now
