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