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