Chords

[Intro] C F C [Verse 1]
C
If I could only read your mind,

                    Dm
then I could be the one you need

                   F                         C
I'm really good at taking care of everybody else but me

                                      Dm
Maybe if I act real nice, maybe if I smile real big

               F                                C
Maybe I could change the shape of who I am 'til I fit in
[Pre-Chorus]
   Am      C     Fmaj7
I guess I lost myself

  F       Am     C     F
Trying to be somebody else
[Chorus]
         C                     Dm7
So I'll, sing a song that only I can sing

F                C
A melody nobody knows but me

                          Dm7
A million things I could pretend to be

              F                G      C
But maybe the best thing I can be, is me

                       Dm7
Maybe the best thing, maybe the best thing

           F               G       C
Maybe the best thing I can be, is me
[Verse 2]
                                         Dm7
If I ever show my face, nothing left to hide behind

               F                                 C
Would anybody stay right here with me no matter what they find?

                                              Dm7
It's easier to shut my mouth, it's easier to just agree

                 Fmaj7         F                C
To put my heart inside a box, turn the lock and hide the key
[Pre-Chorus]
   Am      C     F
I guess I lost myself

  F       Am     C     F
Trying to be somebody else
[Chorus]
         C                     Dm7
So I'll, sing a song that only I can sing

F                C
A melody nobody knows but me

                          Dm7
A million things I could pretend to be

              F                G      C
But maybe the best thing I can be, is me
[Bridge]
        Fmaj7           F         C
I have something to say, I can't keep it inside

    Fmaj7                            C
The world needs more people who are truly alive

    Am                  Em
And I have a voice, and I have a name

      F                   G
This life is a gift, it's not a mistake

       Dm7           C     F            G
Oh, I have to believe, I'm not a mistake
[Chorus]
G         C                     Dm7
So I'll, sing a song that only I can sing

F                C
A melody nobody knows but me

                          Dm7
A million things I could pretend to be

              F                G      C
But maybe the best thing I can be, is me

 C
Maybe the best thing (Maybe the best thing)

Dm
Maybe the best thing

           F               G      C
Maybe the best thing I can be, is me

 C
Maybe the best thing (Maybe the best thing)

Dm
Maybe the best thing

           F               G      C
Maybe the best thing I can be, is me
