Verse 1:
Bbm           Ab
My art isn't mine
                Db         Ab    Eb
'Cause I know that you're tuning in
Bbm                 Ab
All the things I'd like to sing
     Db     Ab     Gb
You tell me are a sin

Bbm           Ab
Water myself down for you
Db      Ab      Eb
Filter my own thoughts
Bbm               Ab
Lace the page in metaphor
Db        Ab      Bbm       Eb    Gb
Let you think I'm not who I am
       Eb    Gb
Who I am

Pre-chorus:
         Bbm     F      Ab        Gb
But I'm sick of fairy tales and cryptids
 Bbm    F        Ab    Gb
Carefully vague, ambiguous
 Bbm       F        Ab      Gb
Just once I'll say just how it is
Bbm      F    Ab     Gb
Each day I remind myself this

Chorus:
Db
 I am my soul
Gb
 I'm not my body or name
Bbm          Eb                                Bbm
  But Elio-o-o would be my choice if I could change
                  Eb                  Gb
I'd still be the same, all except my name
    Gbm        Db  Eb
My name would resonate
    Gb       Gbm       Db
My name, my name, my name

Verse 2:
  Bbm          Ab
Spiderman and Peter Pan
   Db       Ab        Eb
I wished I felt like me
 Bbm                Ab
Take the pen and write again
    Db     Ab       Gb
A cryptid running free
 Bbm            Ab
Give it time, another rhyme
     Db     Ab       Eb
And maybe then I'll see
 Bbm                  Ab
Nothing's wrong with me at all
     Db   Ab         Gb
The box doesn't fit me
      Db    Ab     Bbm       Eb   Gb
I'd love to be as free as a boy
      Eb   Gb
As a boy

Pre-chorus:
         Bbm     F      Ab        Gb
And I'm sick of fairy tales and cryptids
Bbm     F        Ab    Gb
All to just conceal a secret
 Bbm    F        Ab        Gb
Really made me feel like this is
 Bbm    F      Ab     Gb
Somehow about you, it isn't

It isn't!

Chorus:
Db
 I am my soul
Gb
 I'm not my body or name
Bbm          Eb                                Bbm
  But Elio-o-o would be my choice if I could change
                  Eb                  Gb
I'd still be the same, all except my name
    Gbm        Db  Eb
My name would resonate
    Gb       Gbm       Db
My name, my name, my name

Post-chorus:
Bbm          Eb
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Bbm    Gb
Oh-oh, oh
Bbm          Eb
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Outro:
Bbm     Eb                        Bbm
    I know there's nothing I can do
      Eb                  Bbm
If I wanna still talk to you
        Eb                       Gb
But at least I finally told my truth...
