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