*CAPO 2nd FRET*
(Original Key: A)
Verse 1:
G
I had to prove that I could,
Make it alone now,
D7sus4 D7
But that's not me.
G
I wanted to show,
How independent I'd grown now,
D7sus4 D7
But that's not me.
Bridge 1:
Am
I could try to be big,
D7
In the eyes of the world.
Am
What matters to me,
D7
Is what I could be,
Bm7 Emaj7 F#m7/E
To just one girl.
Chorus 1:
Emaj7
I'm a little bit scared,
F#m7/E
'Cos I haven't been home,
Emaj7 F#m7/E
In a long time.
A
You needed my love,
A7
And I know that I left,
D D7
At the wrong time.
Verse 2:
G
My folks when I wrote them,
Told 'em what I was up to said;
D7sus4 D7
That's not me.
G
I went through all kinds of changes,
Took a look at myself and said;
D7sus4 D7
That's not me.
Bridge 2:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/beach_boys/thats_not_me_crd_ver_2.html ]
Am
I miss my pad,
D7
And the places I've known,
Am
And every night,
D7
As I lay there alone;
Bm7 Emaj7 F#m7/E
I would dream.
Chorus 2:
Emaj7
I once had a dream,
F#m7/E
So I packed up and split,
Emaj7 F#m7/E
For the city.
Fmaj7
I soon found out,
Gm
That my lonely life,
Fmaj7 Gm
Wasn't so pretty.
Bb
I'm glad I went,
Bb7
Now I'm that much more sure,
Eb Eb7
That we're ready.
Coda:
Emaj7
I once had a dream,
F#m7/E
So I packed up and split,
Emaj7 F#m7/E
For the city.
Fmaj7
I soon found out,
Gm
That my lonely life,
Fmaj7 Gm
Wasn't so pretty.
