Intro:
FF  CM7/G  A minorAm     E minorEm
           Feelings over-
FF  CM7/G  A minorAm     E minorEm
flow.      And I’m not letting
FF  CM7/G  A minorAm         E minorEm
go,         though in my heart I
FF     CM7/G  A minorAm
know,    I  know.
       CM7/G
  Don’t wanna be

Chorus:
Fadd2  Am7Am7
over  you,    don’t wanna be
Fadd2  Am7Am7       E minorEm
over  you,    don’t wanna be
Fadd2  A minorAm
over  you,  ooooooo
FF
ooh, but you are not
A minorAm
you.


Verse 1:
A minorAm
She said this wasn’t easy for her. De-
Fadd9Fadd9
ciding to walk away wasn’t easy to her. And she said,
A minorAm
  she felt the world was just something that she observed. that she
Fadd9Fadd9
 was inadequate, that her place hadn’t been earned. She said,
A minorAm
 she wasn’t happy with how her life had turned.
Fadd9Fadd9
Feeling the real her was something she had to learn. I said,
C majorC
 this isn’t easy but I support unnerved, be-
E minorEm
lieving that in time she’d wake up and return.
A minorAm
 But hope would fade as those few days had turned to weeks, and those
Fadd9Fadd9
weeks created something of which I couldn’t speak, except
A minorAm
 to say it spoke as if I wasn’t me, as if
Fadd9Fadd9
we now hadn’t been together since we were teens, as if
A minorAm
  these nine years were from a convincing dream and the
Fadd9Fadd9
woman I thought I loved never loved me, I can’t conceive. This
C majorC
had to be a thing, sort of like a changeling. It ac-
E minorEm
ted and spoke the part, but her essence it couldn’t sing.

       CM7/G
  Don’t wanna be

Chorus:
Fadd2  Am7Am7
over  you,    don’t wanna be
Fadd2  Am7Am7       E minorEm
over  you,    don’t wanna be
Fadd2  A minorAm
over  you,  but I just have to make it
FF
through, ‘cuz you are not
A minorAm
you.


Bridge:
FF                  CM7/G
  When you’ve gone
A minorAm     E minorEm
astray,
F*               CM7/G
  And the world just won’t o-
A minorAm     E minorEm
bey.
F*               CM7/G
      When you fall       a-
A minorAm
way,     well we
F*               CM7/G
all         must find our own
A minorAm
way.


Verse 2:
A minorAm
  It’s quite amusing how being apart can yield
Fadd9Fadd9
Levels of clarity on confusion once thought surreal
A minorAm
   And what amazement to come to find you can heal, that one’s
Fadd9Fadd9
future isn’t ill-fated but slated for high appeal.
A minorAm
Well solace gives opportunity to reveal
Fadd9Fadd9
  And time sheds perspective on why one feels
C majorC
  To see success even in division’s the test, well
E minorEm
every day we had wasn’t anything short of blessed.
A minorAm
  So changeling, change brings, more than deranged
Fadd9Fadd9
things, strange things, I’ve near persevered in an up-
A minorAm
swing. So cling to new hope, more than a good
Fadd9Fadd9
show, so do sing, do glow.   And to
A minorAm
this new you, let us remove ado, let us
Fadd9Fadd9
now greet renewed and just start from a different view. I’ll
C majorC
introduce myself, now you introduce yourself. We’ll
E minorEm
smile and live in health as two friends who have never dwelt

  Don’t wanna be

you are not

Fadd2  Am7Am7       E minorEm
over  you,    don’t wanna be
Fadd2  A minorAm
