Intro: F#, Bbm, B, Dmaj7, Bm
VERSE I:
F# Bb B Bm
This is my face on my head on my shoulders
F# Bb B Bm
With eyes and a mouth and a nose
F# Bb B Bm
With a lie on my tongue and a weight on my back
F# Bb B Bm
And a fidgeting twitch in my toes
Dmaj7 Bm F#
But this isn’t me anymore
PRECHORUS I:
F# Bb B C#
These are my arms around you, though you’re reluctant
F# Bb B Bm
And my fingernails, I can’t help but bite
F# Bb B C#
My face is in my hands, but I’ll change in seconds
F# [ch]B#[/ch] B Bm
As my smile returns and I remember tonight
Dmaj7 Bm F#
And I find that I’m me once more

CHORUS:
B F#
Cos this is the me that I like to be
Bb D#sus D#
Charisma quick wit and charm
B F#
But that side of me rarely likes to be
Bb Ebm
In the face of causing harm.
B F#
Can you see my fear as you disappear
Bb D#sus D#
Into someone else’s arms
B F#
Or are you unaware that the me you care for
Bb Ebm
Isn’t really me at all
Dmaj7 Bm B
This is me.
VERSE II:
These are my hands, on my arms, on my conscience
With fingers that shake while they strum
And this is you, in my head, regardless of whether I want you there
And thoughts that I tried to avoid have already begun
And I can’t feel myself anymore
PRECHORUS II:
These are my fingers typing, to no avail
As I try my best, to let you down
But I’ve just so much to do, and I can’t help but force you
To the bottom of my lists and block out the sound
This isn’t the me I want to explore
Bridge:
B F# Bb D#sus D#maj B F# Bb
CHORUS
B F# Bb
This is me, this is me. Oh this is me, this is me
B F# Bb
This is me, oh this is, this is me.
B Bm F#
Da da da daa da da da daa da.
