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