*Verse*
    G#G#
It's a new day, but it all feels old
    F#F#
It's a good life, that's what I'm told
   F#F#
But everything, it all just feels the same

    G#G#
At my high school, it felt more to me
    F#F#
Like a jail cell, a penitentiary
  F#F#
My time spent there, it only made me see


*Pre-chorus 1*
   F#F#
That I don't ever wanna be like you
C#C#
I don't wanna do the things you do
  F#F#
I'm never gonna hear the words you say
  G#G#
and I don't ever wanna, I don't ever wanna be

*Chorus*
G#G#
You___  ...don't wanna be just like you

A augmentedA
 Oh what I'm sayin' is
G#G#
This is the anthem, throw all your hands up,
C#C#  G#G#  F#F#         C#C# <-(When you land on this chord you
you___  ... don't wanna be you|   play the second intro)

*Second intro*


*Verse2*
    G#G#
Go to college, a university
    F#F#
Get a real job, That's what they said to me
  F#F#
But I could never live the way they want

      G#G#
I'm gonna get by, and just do my time,
    F#F#
Out of step while, they all get in line
   F#F#
I'm just a minor threat so pay no mind

*Pre-chorus 2*
F#F#
Do you really wanna be like them,
    C#C#
do you really wanna be another trend?
F#F#
Do you wanna be part of that crowd?
    G#G#
'cause I don't ever wanna, I don't ever wanna be

*Chorus* (Only one small difference)
You...don't wanna be just like you
Oh what I'm sayin' is this is the anthem throw all your hands up,
          BbmBbm <--(Instead of landing on C#,
you, don't wanna be you   you land on Bbm, for the bridge)


*Bridge*
(G#G#
  Shake it once, that's fine
G#G#
  Shake it twice, that's okay
G#G#
  Shake it three times, you're playing with yourself, again.


*Solo*
