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