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

At least I tried
              Ab       Bb
Well at least I tried
         Gm       Cm
At least I tried
                 Ab
Well at least I uh
