I wont ever let you down The day has come The sun is moving on She don't know where he'll go Or when he's coming home She said, "Son, take care, don't let your dreams get too far out of sight" He said, "I love you. Now, don't worry about me, you know I'll be fine" Chorus: 'Cause I'm trying to be somebody I'm not trying to be somebody else This life is mine I'm living Don't you know me? I won't ever let you down No I'm not trying to be somebody else Don't you know me? I won't ever let you I won't ever let you What they say What they know What they think won't ever bring me down This life is mine And I am my own I'm trying to be somebody I'm not trying to be somebody else This life is mine I lead Don't you know me? Chorus: I'm trying to be somebody I'm not trying to be somebody else This life is mine I'm living Don't you know me? I won't ever let you down I'm not trying to be somebody else Don't you know me? I won't ever let you down I won't be nobody else This life is mine and I am my own | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Chords fingeringsAm C Em F G |
