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 anyone other
Than the birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going, is knowing where I'm coming from

chorus:

[Ab] I don't [Eb]want to be
Anything [Bb]other than what I've been [Cm]trying to be lately
[Ab] All I h[Eb]ave to do
Is think of[Bb] me and I have peace of[Cm] mind
[Ab] I'm tired of [Eb]looking 'round rooms
Wondering [Bb]what I've got to do
Or w[Cm]ho I'm supposed to be
[Ab] I don't [Eb]want to be anything [Bb]other than me[Cm]

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

chorus:

[Ab] I don't [Eb]want to be
Anything [Bb]other than what I've been [Cm]trying to be lately
[Ab] All I h[Eb]ave to do
Is think of [Bb]me and I have peace of [Cm]mind
[Ab] I'm tired of [Eb]looking 'round rooms
Wondering [Bb]what I've got to do
Or w[Cm]ho I'm supposed to be
[Ab] I don't [Eb]want to be anything [Bb]other than me[Cm]

Bridge:

[Gm]Can I have everyone's attention please?
[C-Gm] If you're not like this and that, you're gonna have to leave

[C-Bb-F] I came from the mountain
[C-Bb-F] The crust of creation
[C-Bb-F] My whole situtaion-[C-Bb-F]made from clay to stone
[Eb]And now I'm telling [F]everybody

chorus: (played very lightly - louder at the end)

[Ab] I don't [Eb]want to be
Anything [Bb]other than what I've been [Cm]trying to be lately
[Ab] All I h[Eb]ave to do
Is think of[Bb] me and I have peace of[Cm] mind
[Ab] I'm tired of [Eb]looking 'round rooms
Wondering [Bb]what I've got to do
Or w[Cm]ho I'm supposed to be
[Ab] I don't [Eb]want to be anything [Bb]other than me[Cm]

[Ab]I don't[Eb] want to be[Bb][Cm]
