Verse 1:
                        Db
Here it is: a new confession
                Bbm                     Gb
You're a rather intelligent adolescent
                                            Db
And that's who you are, I learned my lesson
                          Bbm                          Ebm
I must not understand and just must be far too progressive
 
Pre-Chorus:
Db                Gb
I never meant to be that way
Bbm           Ebm
I just wanted to be kind
Db            Gb
Maybe I just think too much
     Bbm              Db
It's only in my mind this time
 
Chorus:
Gb             Ab                  Bbm
Oh I know I'm not everything you thought I was
 Bbm
-Who you say you are is who you're not-
 Gb                    Ab
And oh I've tried you cried
             Db
I am not all you had thought
            Bbm
-Who you say you are is who you're not-
 
Post Chorus:
          Gb              Ab
And I'll do my best my flesh
                Fm
Is still gonna make mistakes
             Bbm
-Who you say you are is who you're not-
         Gb            Ab                     Fm
So please forgive if it's really just some big nickname
          Bbm
-Who you say you are is who you're not-
 
Verse 2:
Gb
Here it is: a new perspective
 Db                           Bbm                          Gb
I'm listening but in fair warning it's rather subjective
N.Db.
Woah, so unexpected
Db                            Bbm
I know my friends but I'd rather bathe in my self-rejection
 
Pre-Chorus:
Ebm
Db                 Gb          Bbm
I never meant to be that way
Bbm       Ebm
But I know I am sometimes
Db                  Gb
Well maybe I just think too much
Db
You were right It was only in my mind
 
Chorus:
 Gb             Ab                  Bbm        Db
Oh I know I'm not everything you thought I was
Bbm
-Who you say you are is who you're not-
    Gb                  Ab
And oh I've tried you cried
               Db        Dbm
I am not all you had thought
 Bbm
-Who you say you are is who you're not-
 
Post Chorus:
          Gb               Ab
And I'll do my best my flesh
               Fm
Is still gonna make mistakes
               Bbm
-Who you say you are is who you're not-
         Gb            Ab                     Ebm
So please forgive if it's really just some big nickname
       Bbm                                Gb    Ab
-Who you say you are is who you're not-

At least I tried
              Gb       Ab
Well at least I tried

At least I tried
                 Gb
Well at least I uh
