B
This isn't who I am.
D E
From confidence to self doubt in 60 seconds.
G D
Storming stages and stereos from here to there,
B D
trying to prove that I belong.
E G D
Trying to win approval from people that I don't know.
____Chorus____
G Bb B
And I look so strong
D G
when the weight of all the world
A Dm
don't take it's toll.
G Bb B
And I'd choose my side
D G
if I believed in what was right,
A Dm
but I'm all wrong.
_______
B D
I'm not larger than life, I'm not taller than trees.
E G D
Do I mean what I say or is it just this disease where I never go home?
B D
Never telling the truth, how this life eats away.
Not admitting I'm fake.
E G D
And I'm questioning if this whole thing was worth it to die poor and all alone?
[Chorus]
Just don't tell me this doesn't mean the world,
'Cause my ears would bleed and my heart would hit the floor.
