[Verse 1]
Asus2 Bsus4                       Asus2 Bsus4
I don’t need to be anything other than a prison guard’s son
Asus2 Bsus4                       Asus2 Bsus4
I don’t need to be anything other than a specialist’s son 
Asus2 Bsus4                     Asus2 Bsus4
I don’t have to be anyone other than the birth of two souls in one 
Asus2 Bsus4                        Asus2 Bsus4
Part of where I’m going is knowing where I’m coming from 

[Chorus]
G       D                   A                         Bm           A        
I don’t want to be anything other than what I’ve been trying to be lately 
G     D                      A                      Bm     A
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind 
G   D                             A
I’m tired of looking ‘round rooms wondering what I gotta do 
   Bm                  A
Or who I’m supposed to be 
G D                         A          Bm
I don’t want to be anything other than me 

[Verse 2]
Asus2 Bsus4             Asus2 Bsus4
I’m surrounded by liars everywhere I turn 
Asus2 Bsus4                 Asus2 Bsus4
I’m surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn 
Asus2 Bsus4                       Asus2 Bsus4
I’m surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I turn 
Asus2 Bsus4
Am I the only one to notice? 
Asus2 Bsus4
I can’t be the only one who’s learned 

[Chorus]

[Bridge (I think they use high barré's here)]
F#m Bsus2                                     F#m Bm
       Can I have everyone’s attention please 
F#m Bsus2
       If you're not like this and that 
F#m Bm
       You’re gonna have to leave 
E D Bm                      E D Bm
    I came from the mountain,      the crust of creation 
E D Bm                           D         
    My whole situation made from clay to stone 
    E        F#     G
And now I’m telling everybody 

[Chorus (starts with piano only, same chords)]


[Outro (uses chorus chords)]
I don’t want to be 
I don’t want to be me (repeat until fade)

Practise the barre chord B
B is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.

Practise the change: Asus2 ↔ A

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
