[Verse I] G I could be the voice D the stereo will sell you Em that no one really values C singing on the auction block but I'm not.
G and I could be the dirt D that everybody walks on Em and soak up all their thoughts on C how to make it to the top G D but I'm not Em C but I'm not [Chorus] G through every stage of understanding D they try to tell me what I want Em and I can't say just who I am yet C nut I'm closer than I thought cuz I know who I'm not [Verse II] G I could be the breath D that blows out someone's candle Em whispers under-handed C jealous wishes in the dark but I'm not G and I could be the critic D with judgement in my eyes
Em set on nothing but the prize C the kind that hides a broken heart G D but I'm not Em C but I'm not [Chorus] G through every stage of understanding D they try to tell me what I want Em and I can't say just who I am yet C nut I'm closer than I thought cuz I know who I'm not [Outro] G I could be the step D lying but still believing Em I will find my freedom C they may say that I am lost but I am not.
