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

Well at least I uh
