I DON’T WANT TO BE
By: Gavin DeGraw
Key: Eb

-9* -9*  -9* 9  9  9 -7* -7*  -7*-7*
I don’t need to be an-y-thing oth-er
-7* -7* -7* -7*  -7*    9
Than a pris-on guard’s son
-9* -9*  -9* 9  9  9 -7* -7*  -7*-7*
I don’t need to be an-y-thing oth-er
-7* -7*-7* -7*  -7*    9
Than a spe-cial-ist’s son
-9* -9* -9*  9  9  9 -7*-7* -7*-7*
I don’t have to be an-y-one oth-er
-7*   7   -7*  7  -7*  -7* -7*  9
Than the birth of two souls in one
-9* -9*  -9*   9  -9* 9
Part of where I’m go-ing
9  -9*  -10  11   -9* -9*  9   9
Is know-ing where I’m com-ing from

(chorus)
-10 11  -10 -9*-9* 9 -7* -7*  -7* 7 
I don’t want to be an-y-thing oth-er
 7    -6  -5*  -5*   -5*   -6 7  -7*7-6-5*
Than what I’ve been try’n’ to be late-ly
-10 11 -10 -9*-9* 9  -7*  7 -7*
All I have to do is think of me
 7  7  7    -7*  9   9
And I have peace of mind
-7*  -10  11 -10  -9*   -9*    9
I’m tired of look-ing ‘round rooms
-7*    7    -7*  7   -6 -5* -6
Won-d’ring what I’ve got to do
-3*-5* -6   7   9   -9* 9
Or who I’m sup-posed to be
-10 11  -10 -9*-9* 9 -7* -7*
I don’t want to be an-y-thing
 7 -7*  9   9
Oth-er 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
Am I the only one who noticed?
I can’t be the only one who learned
(repeat chorus)

-7*-7*-7* -7* -7* -7*  -7* -7*  9      9
Can I have ev-‘ry-one’s at-ten-tion please
(spoken)
If you’re not like this and that
You’re gonna have to leave
5  -5*  -5*  5  -5*  -5*
I came from the moun-tain
 5   -5* -5*  5 -5* -5*
The crust of cre-a-tion
5   -5*  -5* 5 -5*-5*  -6   -5*  -6 -5*   5
My whole sit-u-a-tion made from clay to stone
 5  -6  -6   -6  -6  7   7   7  9
And now I’m tell-ing ev-‘ry-bod-y
 7 -7*  9   9
Oth-er than me
-7*-6-5* -6  7 -67-7*-6-5*  -6  7  -5
I don’t want to be I don’t want to be
9-7*7 -7*7-6 -6  7 -67
I     don’t want to be 
-7* -7* =7*  7  7
I don’t want to be
7  7 -6-5*5 5 -5* -6    7 -7* -7* -7*
An-y-thing, an-y-thing oth-er than me
