Intro: C G D Em

Verse 1:
      C               G
I've been closing the door
        D                       Em
All my life, held it in but not anymore
     C              G
Got two feet on the floor
         D
This is it
                        Em
I'm stronger than ever before
 C         G
Pardon my imposition
              D
But this is my conviction
                       Em
I need to get this off my mind

Chorus:
           C
I gotta be me
         G
Gotta be I
           D              G
Gotta be who I know I am inside
     D                                        Em
Can finally breathe, taking it in, look at me flying!
     C                                               G
It's always been there, it just took me a minute to find it
     D                                     Em
If I were to be anybody else, I'd just be hiding
      C G
Who I am
      D Em
Who I am

Verse 2:
         C                     G
Lookin' back, back on a little boy
       D                           Em
Never gave him a chance to ever be more
          C                      G                      D
I didn't love him but I'm gonna love him right now and forever
                           Em
It's time to push open the door
C          G
Pardon my imposition
                D
But this is my conviction
                               Em
Ain't nothing left to hold me down

No

Chorus:
            C
I gotta be me
         G
Gotta be I
          D               G
Gotta be who I know I am inside
    D                                         Em
Can finally breathe, taking it in, look at me flying!
     C                                               G
It's always been there, it just took me a minute to find it
     D                                    Em
If I were to be anybody else, I'd just be hiding
      C G
Who I am
      D Em
Who I am.
       C                                            G
It's always been there, it just took me a minute to find it
      D Em
Who I am
          C
Gotta be me
         G
Gotta be I
                          D
Gotta be who I know I am inside
                                               Em
Can finally breathe, taking it in, look at me flying!
                  C                                 G
It's always been there, it just took me a minute to find it
   D                                       Em
If I were to be anybody else, I'd just be hiding
      C G

      D Em
Who I am
      C                                              G
It's always been there, it just took me a minute to find it
      D Em C G D Em
