[Verse 1]
C
Here it is: a new confession
Am F
You're a rather intelligent adolescent
C
And that's who you are, I learned my lesson
Am Dm
I must not understand and just must be far too progressive
[Pre-Chorus]
C F
I never meant to be that way
Am Dm
I just wanted to be kind
C F
Maybe I just think too much
Am C
It's only in my mind this time
[Chorus]
F G Am
Oh I know I'm not everything you thought I was
Am
(Who you say you are is who you're not)
F G
And oh I've tried you cried
C
I am not all you had thought
Am
(Who you say you are is who you're not)
[Post Chorus]
F G
And I'll do my best my flesh
Em
Is still gonna make mistakes
Am
(Who you say you are is who you're not)
F G Em
So please forgive if it's really just some big nickname
Am
(Who you say you are is who you're not)

C Am F

I know my friends but I'd rather bathe in my self-rejection
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
C F Am

Am Dm
But I know I am sometimes
C F
Well maybe I just think too much
C
You were right It was only in my mind

F G
And oh I've tried you cried

I am not all you had thought
Am
(Who you say you are is who you're not)
[Post Chorus]
F G
And I'll do my best my flesh
Em
Is still gonna make mistakes
Am
(Who you say you are is who you're not)
F G Dm
So please forgive if it's really just some big nickname
Am F G
(Who you say you are is who you're not)
