C majorC
If I could only read your mind,
          DmDm
then I could be the one you need

I'm really good at taking care of everybody else but me

Maybe if I act real nice, maybe if I smile real big

Maybe I could change the shape of who I am 'til I fit in

Trying to be somebody else

Would anybody stay right here with me no matter what they find?

It's easier to shut my mouth, it's easier to just agree
         Fmaj7Fmaj7     FF        C majorC
To put my heart inside a box, turn the lock and hide the key

Trying to be somebody else
