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

G Em C

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

Em Am
But I know I am sometimes
G C
Well maybe I just think too much
G
You were right It was only in my mind
[Chorus]

C D
And oh I've tried you cried

I am not all you had thought
Em
(Who you say you are is who you're not)
[Post Chorus]
C D
And I'll do my best my flesh
Bm
Is still gonna make mistakes
Em
(Who you say you are is who you're not)

Em C D
(Who you say you are is who you're not)
