G 
Let's find out just how far i'll go 
G                               Em 
To look like someone you should know 
          Am7 
Maybe i'd sound a little better 
C 
If my features were more sweet 

G 
Your mind's already been made up 
G                        Em 
You saw my number and my number wasn't good enough 
     Am7  
I'll write a little better 
C 
If i'm willing to compete 

G               G7 
I'll do it if i have to 
Cmaj7             C 
Hoping for an inbetween 
G                       G7 
Not what i meant when i said that i  
Cmaj7          C   G 
I wanted to be seen 

G 
How am i meant to stay on track 
     G                              Em 
When each hand i shake will pull me back 
        Am7 
Oh i'll work a little harder 
    C                 G 
But walk a little less 

G 
And in the end will i feel proud 
G                         Em 
That i grit my teeth, and followed the damn crowd 
            Am7 
Will i have grown a little empire 
   C 
Or made a fucking mess 

G               G7 
I'll do it if i have to 
Cmaj7             C 
Hoping for an inbetween 
G                       G7 
Not what i meant when i said that i  
Cmaj7          C   G 
I wanted to be seen 

G               G7 
I'll do it if i have to 
               Em 
(i'll keep it to myself) 
Cmaj7             C 
Hoping for an inbetween 
   G7                  C 
(i must have seen that somewhere) 
G                       G7 
Not what i meant when i said that i 
C                  G 
I wanted to be seen
