Verse 1:
 FF
 I’m looking in the mirror but that’s not me

 A minorAm
 It’s someone else who looks a little like me

 Bb majorBb            C#C#     C majorC
 But they’re trying way too hard

 FF
 I go outside in borrowed clothes and borrowed shoes

 A minorAm
 It seemed like the most logical thing to do

 Bb majorBb               C#C#      C majorC        FF    Fsus4Fsus4    FF
 But it’s not safe to go out in the middle of the night

Pre-Chorus:
 G minorGm               A minorAm
 But it’s all my head has got

 Bb majorBb
 To be everything I’m not

 DmDm                 C majorC
Take me and paint me by numbers

 G minorGm             A minorAm
 And though my head can try

 Bb majorBb
 This happens every night

 DmDm                 C majorC  C/C#
I’m not your sister or brother

Chorus:
      Bb majorBb
I’m an imposter I know

      FF     A augmentedA
I’m an imposter I know

      Bb majorBb
I’m an imposter I know

      FF              A augmentedA
And I’m loving the bluffing but I really know nothing no


Interlude:
  Bb majorBb                  FF        A augmentedA
                          Really know nothing no

Verse 2:
 FF
 I wile away the weeks with a sour face

 A minorAm
 Knowing now that someone else has took my place

 Bb majorBb            C#C#     C majorC
 They're still trying way too hard

 FF
 I wished for this I know but now I take it back

 A minorAm
 I’ll return as the slowest in the wolfpack

 Bb majorBb
 now those old flaws seem like bliss

 DmDm        Dm/C#       C majorC
 just give me anything but this


Chorus:
 A augmentedA        Bb majorBb
Oh, I’m an imposter I know

      FF     A augmentedA
I’m an imposter I know

      Bb majorBb
I’m an imposter, do you think they know

      FF              A augmentedA
When I’m loving the bluffing but I really know nothing no


Interlude:
  Bb majorBb                  FF        A augmentedA
                         Really know nothing no

Bridge:
(play arpeggios!)
 G minorGm           A minorAm
 And then the party stops

 Bb majorBb              DmDm
 And all the bodies swap back to their owners,

    C majorC          G minorGm
It’s horribly normal again

        A minorAm    Bb majorBb
Sweaty and confused, I look around the room

 DmDm                C majorC   C/C#
I’m just like all of the others!


Interlude:
  Bb majorBb   FF   A augmentedA
Oooohh

  Bb majorBb   FF   A augmentedA
Oooohh Oh Ooh Oh


Chorus:
      Bb majorBb
I’m an imposter I know

      FF     A augmentedA
I’m an imposter I know

      Bb majorBb
I’m an imposter, do you think they know

      FF              A augmentedA
When I’m loving the bluffing but I really know- no no

 Bb majorBb
Oh, I know

      FF     A augmentedA
I’m an imposter I know

      Bb majorBb
I’m an imposter, do you think they know

      FF              A augmentedA
When I’m loving the bluffing but I really know nothing no
