G Cadd9 G Cadd9

[Verse 1]
G                        Cadd9
I could be the voice the stereo will sell you,
     Em7                          Cadd9
that no one really values singing on the ocean floor
        G    Cadd9
But I'm not
    G                        Cadd9
And I could be the dirt that everybody walks on,
    Em7                                  Cadd9
and soak up all their thoughts on how to make it to the top
        G     Cadd9
But I'm not
        G     Cadd9
But I'm not


[Chorus]
D               Cadd9          G
  Through every stage of understanding
D             Cadd9          G
  They try to tell me what I want
D             Cadd9          G
  And I can't say just who I am yet
        Em7           Cadd9
But I'm closer than I thought
         Dsus4 D       G   Cadd9
'Cause I know who I'm not 

G   Cadd9 

[Verse 2]
G                          Cadd9
I could be the breath that blows out someone's candle,
Em7                           Cadd9
Whispers underhanded, jealous wishes in the dark,
        G    Cadd9
But I'm not 
    G                           Cadd9 
And I could be the critic, with judgment in my eyes
       Em7                        Cadd9
Set on nothing but the prize; the kind that hides a broken heart,
        G    Cadd9
But I'm not
        G    Cadd9
But I'm not

[[Chorus]
D               Cadd9          G
  Through every stage of understanding
D             Cadd9          G
  They try to tell me what I want
D             Cadd9          G
  And I can't say just who I am yet
        Em7           Cadd9
But I'm closer than I thought
         Dsus4 D       G   
'Cause I know who I'm not 

[Instrumental]
G       Cadd9 
Ooooh oooh
  Em7     D
Oooh   ooooh
G       Cadd9 
Ooooh oooh
  Em7     D
Oooh   ooooh
G       Cadd9 
Ooooh oooh
  Em7     D
Oooh   ooooh
G       Cadd9 
Ooooh oooh
  Em7     D
Oooh   ooooh

[Bridge]
G                    Cadd9
I could be the step, blind but still believing,
Em7                              Cadd9
I will find my freedom, they may say that I am lost
        G   Cadd9
But I'm not

[Outro]
