• Difficulty: Intermediate

Intro:

F# A#m B C#



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

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

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


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

F# C#

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


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

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


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


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


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


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