I Don't Want To Be (ver. 2)
Gavin DeGraw
I don’t need to be anything other Than a prison guard’s son c I don’t need to be anything other Than a specialist’s son I don’t have to be anything other Than the birth of two souls in one Part of where I’m going is knowing where I’m coming from I don’t want to be Anything other than what I’ve been trying to be lately All I have to do Is think of me and I have peace of mind I’m tired of looking ’round rooms Wondering what I’ve got to do Or who I’m supposed to be I don’t want to be anything other than me I’m surrounded by liars everywhere I turn I’m surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn I’m surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I turn the only one who noticed? I can’t be the only one who’s learned I don’t want to be Anything other than what I’ve been trying to be lately All I have to do Is think of me and I have peace of mind I’m tired of looking ’round rooms Wondering what I’ve got to do Or who I’m supposed to be I don’t want to be anything other than me Can I have everyone’s attention please? N.C> ( ) If you’re not like this and that you’re gonna have to leave N.C. ( ) I came from the mountain N.C. ( ) The crust of creation N.C> My whole situtaion-made from clay to stone And now I’m telling everybody (strum one per chord) I don’t want to be Anything other that what I’ve been trying to be lately All I have to do Is think of me and I have peace of mind (start strumming again) I’m tired of looking ’round rooms Wondering what I’ve got to do Or who I’m supposed to be I don’t want to be anything other than me I don’t want to be
