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