Intro: G Cadd9 G Cadd9
verse 1
G Cadd9
I could be the voice the stereo will sell you,
Em7 Cadd9
that no one really values singing on the ocean floor
G Cadd9
But I'm not
G Cadd9
And I could be the dirt that everybody walks on,
Em7 Cadd9
and soak up all their thoughts on how to make it to the top
G Cadd9
But I'm not
G Cadd9
But I'm not
D Cadd9 G
Through every stage of understanding
D Cadd9 G
They try to tell me what I want
D Cadd9 G
And I can't say just who I am yet
Em7 Cadd9
But I'm closer than I thought
Dsus4 D G Cadd9
'Cause I know who I'm not
G Cadd9
verse 2
G Cadd9
I could be the breath that blows out someone's candle,
Em7 Cadd9
Whispers underhanded, jealous wishes in the dark,
G Cadd9
But I'm not
G Cadd9
And I could be the critic, with judgment in my eyes
Em7 Cadd9
Set on nothing but the prize; the kind that hides a broken heart,
G Cadd9
But I'm not
G Cadd9
But I'm not
D Cadd9 G
Through every stage of understanding
D Cadd9 G
They try to tell me what I want
D Cadd9 G
And I can't say just who I am yet
Em7 Cadd9
But I'm closer than I thought
Dsus4 D G
'Cause I know who I'm not
