• Difficulty: Intermediate

Intro:

F#F# A#mA#m BB C#C#


Verse 1:
  F#F#
I cried on your shoulder right there in the kitchen
   A#mA#m
Our friends in the next room, so close they could listen
  BB
And I don't know why
  C#C#
I laugh when I cry
 F#F#
I'm not the girl that you thought you were getting
  A#mA#m
I'm way more complex, yeah I got them sharp edges
   BB
I'm solid as ice, oh
    C#C#
But I break all the time

Pre-Chorus 1:
              F#F#
But if I were a different girl
               A#mA#m
It'd be simpler, that's for sure
               BB
Wouldn't it be nice to be a cool wind, cool wind?

Always keep it breezy
 C#C#
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, but I am not that easy


Chorus:
F#F#
No
I am who I am
  A#mA#m
And I am a lot to handle
BB
You do the best you can
  C#C#
But I am an uphill battle

F#F# C#C#

Verse 2:
      F#F#
You say I act like it's my job to get so emotional
A#mA#m
Hell it's my business to get so emotional
BB
About to lose it
   C#C#
Just below the surface, ooh yeah
F#F#
Walking around with a knot in my stomach
A#mA#m
Got you so high but we're ready to plummet
    BB
Going down, going down, going down, going down
C#C#
Oh no

Pre-Chorus 1:
              F#F#
But if I were a different girl
               A#mA#m
It'd be simpler, that's for sure
               BB
Wouldn't it be nice to be a cool wind, cool wind?

Always keep it breezy
 C#C#
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, but I am not that easy


Chorus:
F#F#
No
I am who I am
  A#mA#m
And I am a lot to handle
BB
You do the best you can
  C#C#
But I am an uphill battle
F#F#
I'll be your solid ground
  A#mA#m
And I'll be your biggest gamble
BB              C#C#
You do the best you can
I know


Bridge:
            BB
So baby baby keep on climbing
               A#mA#m
I'll wrap my arms around you tight
               BB
I'll take you to the highest mountain
               C#C#
I'll take you to the top tonight


Pre-Chorus 2:
            BB
If I were a different girl
                  F#F#
Yeah, it'd be simpler, that's for sure
                  BB
But you know you wouldn't get the sparks from the clash, the high from the crash
   C#C#
The curse and the kiss, they will make this thing last


Chorus:
F#F#
No
I am who I am
  A#mA#m
And I am a lot to handle
BB
You do the best you can
  C#C#        D MajorD
But I am an uphill battle
D#mD#m
I'll be your solid ground
  A#mA#m
And I'll be your biggest gamble
BB
You do the best you can
  C#C#          F#F#  A#mA#m
But I am an uphill battle, ooh
        BB  C#C#
An uphill battle
      F#F#     A#mA#m BB C#C# F#F#
An uphill battle, ooh
