[Verse]
G#m                        F#
Dear god I'm writing this letter to you 

        C#m
Cause I don't have a clue

        G#m
Can you help me?

G#m
I'm sitting here

              F# 
Simply trying to figure out

        C#m
What my life's all about it

        G#m
Can you tell me?
[Chorus]
B                 A
I never wanted to be

               E
The person you see 

                        B
Won't you tell me who I am?

B                  A
I always wanted to die

                 E
But you kept me alive

                     B
Please tell me who I am
[Verse]
G#m                         F#
I lie awake conducting this symphony, 

              C#m
That you have gifted to me, 

                 G#m
but I don't ever sleep

G#m
Don't get mad

            F#
Cause I get weak inside

               C#m
And I start to fall apart

             G#m
Cause I feel nothing
[Chorus]
B                 A
I never wanted to be

                   E
Some kind of comic relief 

                     B
Please show me who I am

B                   A
I been tortured and scorned

                         E
Since the day that I was born

                       B
But I don't know who I am
[Bridge]
A      E                 B
And I thank you man for everything

A                                          
Sorry I'm so frightened about all of this

        B
Oh I wish I could give you more

A              E               B
and all the lights are shining down on me 

      G          E               B
And I feel intimidated by it all
A E B [End chorus]
B                 A
I never wanted to be

               E             B
The person you see but thank you

B                     A
Oh god please tell me now

                                E
Are you disappointed or are you proud

                    B
haven't i done everything, everything?

B                   A
I'm so sorry I'm so weak 

                    E
And I turned into a freak

                 B
But I don't know anything

B               A
I've lost all self-esteem

             E
By burying everything

            B
And I feel nothing, nothing,

B                     A
Oh god please tell me now

                   E
God please tell me now

               B
Cause I feel nothing
[Outro]
G#m                           F#
Oh dear god I'm writing this letter to you

          C#m
Cause I'm coming unglued 

       G#m
Please help me
