Dayglow - Nicknames: chords

F                     C
Here it is: a new confession
                Am                     F
You're a rather intelligent adolescent
                                           C
And that's who you are, I learned my lesson
                          Am
I must not understand and just must be
                Dm
far too progressive

    C/E  F
I never meant to be that way
Am      Dm
I just wanted to be kind
 C/E  F
Maybe I just think too much
     Am             C
It's only in my mind this time

Chorus:
   F           G                  Em
Oh I know I'm not everything you thought I was
         Am
(Who you say you are is who you're not)
     F                  G
And oh I've tried you cried
             Em
I am not all you had thought
         Am
(Who you say you are is who you're not)

          F              G
And I'll do my best my flesh
                Em
Is still gonna make mistakes
         Am
(Who you say you are is who you're not)
      F              G                     Em
So please forgive if it's really just some big
nickname
         Am
(Who you say you are is who you're not)

Here it is, a new perspective
I'm listening but in fair warning
it's rather subjective
Woah! So unexpected
I know my friends but
I'd rather bathe in my self-rejection

I never meant to be that way
But I know I am sometimes
Well maybe I just think too much
You were right, it was only in my mind

Chorus:
Oh I know I'm not everything you thought I was
(Who you say you are is who you're not)
And oh I've tried you cried
I am not all you had thought
(Who you say you are is who you're not)

And I'll do my best my flesh
Is still gonna make mistakes
(Who you say you are is who you're not)
So please forgive if it's really
just some big nickname
(Who you say you are is who you're not)

         Em     Am
At least I tried
              F      G
Well at least I tried
         Em     Am
At least I tried
                F
Well at least I uh
