It'd be awesome if you guys could rate my tab also!
Under the suGrface
We're all the sCame
Searching for puGrpose
Running from shCame
I'm sorry iG'm not all the things that Amyou want
All the things that Emyou thought i should Dbe
i guess i'm not lGike you
Not something you're uAmsed to
Maybe something bEmrand new
You've never sDeen
GWish i could read your Emmind
come on let me inCside
i'll never waste your tDime-misunderstood
Gwish you could somehow Emsee
that i would always Cbe
all that you want from Dme
I got your lGetter
tell me who's to bClame
Do you feel bGetter
causing me pAmain
so much pDain
I'm sorry IG'm not all the things that you wAmant
All the things that Emyou thought i shoulDd be
I guess I'm not lGike you 
not something your uAmsed to
maybe something bEmrand new you've never sDeen
(GO back to Chorus then return to stanza below)
AmIt's my time

but i nDeed to make this on my own
AmYou're not right I'm not wrong
So just Clet mDe go!
(Chorus then return to stanza below)
Under the surGface...we're all the Csame

Under the surface

We're all the same

Searching for purpose

Running from shame

G Am

I'm sorry i'm not all the things that you want

Em D

All the things that you thought i should be

i guess i'm not like you

Not something you're used to

Maybe something brand new

You've never seen

G Em

Wish i could read your mind

come on let me inside

i'll never waste your time-misunderstood

G Em

wish you could somehow see

that i would always be

all that you want from me

I got your letter

tell me who's to blame

Do you feel better

causing me pain

so much pain

G Am

I'm sorry I'm not all the things that you want

Em D

All the things that you thought i should be

I guess I'm not like you

not something your used to

Em D

maybe something brand new you've never seen

(GO back to Chorus then return to stanza below)

It's my time

It's my turn

and i'm ready

but i need to make this on my own

You're not right I'm not wrong

C D

So just let me go!

(Chorus then return to stanza below)

G C

Under the surface...we're all the same
