[Intro]
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
[Verse 1]
GI could be the voice the Cadd9stereo will sell you,
that Em7no one really values singing Cadd9on the ocean floor
But I'm GnotCadd9  
And GI could be the dirt that Cadd9everybody walks on,
and Em7soak up all their thoughts on how to Cadd9make it to the top
But I'm GnotCadd9  
But I'm GnotCadd9  
[Chorus]
  DThrough every Cadd9stage of undersGtanding
  DThey try to Cadd9tell me what I Gwant
  DAnd I can't Cadd9say just who I Gam yet
But I'm Em7closer than I Cadd9thought
'Cause I Dsus4know wDho I'm nGot Cadd9  
G   Cadd9
[Verse 2]
GI could be the breath that Cadd9blows out someone's candle,
Em7Whispers underhanded, jealous Cadd9wishes in the dark,
But I'm Gnot Cadd9  
And GI could be the critic, with Cadd9judgment in my eyes
Set on Em7nothing but the prize; the Cadd9kind that hides a broken heart,
But I'm GnotCadd9  
But I'm GnotCadd9  
[[Chorus]
  DThrough every Cadd9stage of undersGtanding
  DThey try to Cadd9tell me what I Gwant
  DAnd I can't Cadd9say just who I Gam yet
But I'm Em7closer than I Cadd9thought
'Cause I Dsus4know wDho I'm nGot
