Intro:
   A Db7 D Dm
Ok,       I'm gonna do it like that
 
Verse 1:
A                      Db7
  I never got with the program
                          D
The teacher would call me out
 
For daydreamin' I was like
 Dm
"Dayum, I'll just hop out"
A                    Db7
  I cried into soggy cornflakes
                       D
My mom sent me back to school
                     Dm
Cause nobody wants a flunky in grade two
 
Pre-Chorus 1:
  A
I wanna speak facts but I can barely breathe
  Db7
I wanna bring myself out but I'm in too deep
     D
I've always ad this intensity
  Dm
I guess that's what makes me, me
 
Chorus:
                   A
How I'm suppose to be myself
                   Db7
From always taking notes from someone else
    D                          Dm
And everything I do seems to offend somebody new
                A
I've been tryna love myself
             Db7
And never compared to someone else
      D                             Dm
Cause everything I do makes me feel like somebody new
 
Verse 2:
A                      Db7
  I never got A's that easy
                            D
The summer didn't last that long
 
Spent it on a halfpipe
  Dm
"Dayum, I'll just drop in"
A                           Db7
  I tie my Vans with broken laces
                             D
Got green paint stains on my jeans
                         Dm
Guess I'll graduate with braces on my teeth
 
Pre-Chorus 2:
  A
I wanna run track when it's time to walk
  Db7
I wanna speak up when it's wrong to not
     D
I've always had this integrity
  Dm
I guess that's what makes me, me
 
Chorus:
                   A
How I'm suppose to be myself
                   Db7
From always taking notes from someone else
    D                          Dm
And everything I do seems to offend somebody new
                A
I've been tryna love myself
             Db7
And never compared to someone else
      D                             Dm
Cause everything I do makes me feel like somebody new
 
Verse 3:
              A
This is how I do
                 Db7
This is how I'll be
       D
I know sometimes my socks don't match
  Dm
I guess it's in my genes
              A
This is how I do
                 Db7
This is how I'll be
   D
It may not seem like much to you
    Dm
But it's enough for me
 
Outro:
A Db7 D Dm -x2-
 
A                     Db7
  Ooh, you know how I do
                   D
You know that it's true
       Dm
So let me be me and I'll let you be you
