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