Chords

[Intro]
C#m
  I woke this mornin' undecided

B
  My demons takin' over my life, yeah

F#m
  Sooner or later it's a family divided

A
  These patterns gettin' hard to hide, yeah
[Chorus]
C#m
  They say I should be satisfied

B
  They tell me I got the world, but that's a lie

F#m                                         A
  I wished the way I feel could be pacified, sometimes

  C#m
I wish I was somebody

B               F#m  A
  Anybody but myself

      C#m
Oh, I wish I was somebody

B               F#m  A
  Anybody but myself
[Verse]
                           C#m
If I told you I'm 'bout to break would you look at me different?

                 B
Character out of place, would I lose your attention?

                      F#m
Let me know your intentions, cause lately I been watchin' everybody

       A
It's apparent that transparency never seen monotony

C#m
Got off of tour, lookin' for closure

                  B
Mixin' emotion of bein' grateful and feelin' like some of y'all gettin' over

         F#m
What's a puppet on stage, singin' and dancin' ablaze?

                A
But trading his worth, distorted by the money that's made

               C#m
A slave with a verse, I feel like Prince Rogers

             B
I feel liberation is free, I feel I should miss the Oscars

            F#m
Are you celebrating me as the artist or just a profit?

                  A
A question I have for the ones around me that's turnin' toxic

              C#m
My lungs been heavy from all the smokescreen boobytraps

               B                                            F#m  A
Reminiscin' on what it was, and knowin' that this ain't that

           C#m
I vision a rock in a hard place

                                   B
Hope my daughter isn't born with a piece of my heartbreak

                                    F#m
You know stress carries on and your kids reap the mistakes that you made

                       A
And I admit that I can be dismissive if I can't relate

                   C#m
And I admit that I only commit to start playin' games

                     B
And I admit that I'm bad at talkin' myself out of shame

                            F#m
But who's to blame when the crowds stop cheerin' and they passin' dirty looks?

  A
I now understand that I'll never be understood
[Bridge]
C#m  B
       Isolation didn't work for me (Work for me)

F#m
  Socializing didn't work for me

A
  Prayed about it, didn't work for me (Work for me)

C#m  B
       You can't cure this disease

F#m
  The pain too traumatic for relief

A
  Pull up the curtains, let the audience see
[Chorus]
  C#m                                              B
I wish I was somebody (Somebody else, oh, somebody else, oh)

              F#m             A
Anybody but myself  (Somebody else, oh)

      C#m                B
Oh, I wish I was somebody

             F#m  A
Anybody but myself
