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