               Bm
This isn't who I am.
           D
From confidence to self doubt.
       Em                 G
In 60 seconds. Storming stages
         D
and stereos. From here to there.
Bm                        D
Trying to prove that I belong
           Em       G
Trying to win approval.
       D
From people that I don't know.

Chorus:
G      A#dim    Bm
And I look so strong
          D                 G
When the weight of all the world
       A         D
don't take it's toll.
G        A#dim     Bm
And I'd choose my side If
      D                 G
I believed in what was right.
     A        D
But I'm all wrong.

I'm not larger than life,
I'm not taller than trees
Do I mean what I say,
is it just this disease?
Where I never go home
Never telling the truth how this life eats away
Admitting I'm fake
And I'm questioning whether this whole thing
was worth it to die poor and all alone?

Chorus

      D     F#m  D
Just don't tell me.
   D  C#  A    Bm   A Bm A D
 This doesn't mean the    world
F#m A         D Bm      F#m D
    cause my ears would bleed,
     D  C#  A       Bm   A   D
and my heart would hit the floor.
