VERSE 1:

I don't need to be anything other
Than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other 
Than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anything other
Than the birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going, is knowing where I'm coming from


CHORUS:

G       D                   A                         Hm7          A 
I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately  

G     D                      A                      Hm7     A
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind. 

G            D                             A 
I'm tired of looking round rooms wondering what I gotta do 

   Hm7        A
Or who I'm supposed to be. 

G       D                  A          Hm7 
I don't want to be anything other than me
 
  
VERSE 2:

I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one who noticed?
I can't be the only one who's learned

BRIDGE:

F#m7                                     Hadd9/F#
Can I have everyone's attention please 

F#m7                                     Hadd9/F#
See, not like this and that You're gonna have to leave  

H5 - A5 - G#dim ---> I came from the mountain

H5 - A5 - G#dim ---> the crust of creation 
                                        H5   C#5  D
