[Verse 1]
C C/B I feel like a quote out of context, Am G F G Am D Withholding the rest so I can be for you what you wanna see. C C/B Am I got the gesture and sounds, got the timing down G F G Am D It's uncanny, yeah, you'd think it was me. Do you think I should G E7 Am G D Take a class to lose my southern accent? F G F G Did I make me up or make the face till it stuck F G C I do the best imitation of myself.
[Verse 2]
C C/B Am G The "problem with you" speech you gave me was fine F G Am D I liked the theories about my little stage. C C/B Am And I swore I was listening till I started drifting G F G Am D Around the part about me acting my age. Now if it's G E7 Am G D All the same... I've people to entertain. F G F G You know I'll juggle one-handed, do some magic tricks and F G C The best imitation of myself.
[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
C C/B Am G Last night I was east with them... and west within... F G Am D Trying to be for you what you wanna see. C C/B Am But I can't help it with you, the good and bad comes through G F G Am D Don't want you hanging out with no-one but me. G E7 Am G D Now that it's all the same... it comes from the same place. F G And if my mind's somewhere else F G You won't be able to tell F G C I do the best imitation of myself
[Outro]
F G Yes it's uncanny to see F G You'd really think it was me. F G Am D The best imitation of myself... F G D I do the best imitation of myself.
