• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Key: D

🎸 Intro:

D


🎸 Verse 1:
D
I am what I am
G           D
An insecure mountain
                        Bm        A
Long-winded fountain of useless advice
         D
And I've been where I've been
     G          D
From Bolivar to Houston
                              A                D
I never could get used to how fast it all went by

🎸 Chorus:
         G                       D
And I'll take in a breath as the sun hits the ocean
G                          Bm           A
Home is a place where they just let you be
          D             A           G              D
Go on and tell this old world that I'm tired of pretending
                    A              G              D
From here until the end, I'm gonna be what I will be


🎸 Verse 2:
D
I've seen what I've seen
G            D
A highway of laughter
                                     Bm           A
The dream I was chasin' after always felt so far away
      D
But I know what I know
            G            D
That there's no shame in cryin'
     G                     A             D
Just a beauty in tryin' to find your own way


🎸 Chorus:
         G                       D
And I'll take in a breath as the sun hits the ocean
G                          Bm           A
Home is a place where they just let you be
          D             A           G               D
Go on and tell this old world that I'm done with pretending
                    A              G              D
From here until the end, I'm gonna be what I will be


Instrumental 🎸 Break:
Em    A    Em    A


🎸 Verse 3:
D
I'm gonna earn my scars
            G                D
From livin' too close to the fire
                                Bm             A
Get kicked out of the choir for singing my own song
            D
There's not one thing left
     G          D
That anyone can sell me
                                   A             D
Don't bother tryin' to tell me the way I live is wrong


🎸 Chorus:
         G                       D
And I'll take in a breath as the sun hits the ocean
G                         Bm         A
Home is a place where I'm just gonna be
          D             A           G                  D
Go on and tell this old world that I'm through with pretending
                    A              G
From here until the end, I'm gonna be
     D             A              G A
From now until the end, I'm gonna be
G                        D
I'm gonna be what I will be
