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