Chords

[Verse 1]
G           Bm
  I want to be a character

C         Bb
  In some fiction I write

G         Bm            C
  So I feel that I have authorship

   Bb           G
  Over my own life

           Bm         C
  Build myself into concept

      Bb
  To have some control

G        Bm           C
  But subconscious commands me

      Bb
  And so does my soul

G         Bm         C
  What is truly my nature?

     Bb           G
  I try to resist

        Bm                C
  Hasty thoughts that I conjour

  Bb
  Make me feel sick

G         Bm       C
  Give my ego a premise

       Bb
  Then try to commit

G          Bm
  Still can’t run away

C            Bb
  From the fact I exist
[Chorus]
G                            Bm
        Sure sometimes it is nice

                      C
  To be tangible and true
But self-recognition
     Bb
  Is hard to construe

G
        To be content in yourself

            Bm
  Well it's difficult to do

                  C
  Some days you’d rather be me

                Bb
  Some days I’d rather be you
[Verse 2]
G             Bm
  And maybe in some ways

         C                  Bb
  That’s why it’s hard to empathize

G                Bm
  You're nothing more than character

C              Bb
  In someone else’s life

G             Bm              C
  To them you live as the fiction

        Bb
  That you would like to be

G        Bm           C
  But without the control

       Bb
  Over how you’re perceived

G               Bm
  You may feel minimized

     C        Bb
  Or maybe misunderstood

G         Bm
  Maybe idealized

         C           Bb
  Whilst undeserving of that love

G            Bm          C
  So then discard the opinion

          Bb               G
  As they don't really know you

         Bm          C
  Just to face the facts

            Bb            G
  You don’t know yourself too
[Chorus]
                             Bm
        Sure sometimes it is nice

                       C
  To feel tangible and true
But self-recognition
     Bb
  Is hard to construe

G
        To be content in yourself

          Bm
  Well it sure is hard to do

                  C
  Some days you’d rather be me

                Bb
  Some days I’d rather be you
