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

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

Ab        Eb                  Bb             Cm 
  I don't want to be anything other than me
