4-bar intro

* Verse 1 I don't need to be anything other than a prison guard's son.
I don't need to be anything other than a specialist's son.
I don't have to be anything other
Than the birth of two souls in one.
Part of where I'm going is knowing where I'm coming from.

* Chorus I don't want to be
Anything other than what I've been trying to be lately.
All I have to do
Is think of me and I have peace of mind.
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got to do or who I'm supposed to be.
I don't want to be anything other than me.

* 2-bar break

* Verse 2 I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn.
I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn.
I'm surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I turn.
Am I the only one who noticed?
I can't be the only one who's learned.

* Repeat chorus

* Bridge Can I have everyone's attention, please?
If you're not like this and that, you're gonna have to leave.
I came from the mountain,
The crust of creation,
My whole situation made from clay to stone
And now I'm telling everybody,

* Repeat chorus

* Vamp I don't want to be, heyyyy yeaaaah hey yeah.
I don't want to be, ohhhhhhhhh.
I don't want to be.
I don't want to be anything, anything other than me.

Hey yeah yeah yeah (I don't want to be)
Hey yeah yeaaaaah. (repeat 3x)

I don't want to be anything other than me. ********************************************
