[G][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]Who are you
when you [D]are [Am]on your own
[C]All by yourself, coming home?
Do you [G]take off the clothes
that you [Am]wore to work
[C]Peeling the paint from the wood?

[Verse 2]
Do you [G]dream in the dark of
the [Am]roots and trees?
The [C]scars and all the uncovering.
Yeah, [G]whenever that
shame [D]tries to [Am]bury you
I [C]hope you will find your
way through.
Remember I [G]am I [D]am [C]I am…
When [Em]the face

[Verse 3]
on [D]that moon
is just [G]a deadpan
For your rhyming, when it’s just [D]denying
That we get [G]to be [D]what we wan[C]na be…
When [Em]the sun in the [D]morn
ing is just a [G]reason
To keep on sleeping,
when you’re just break[D]ing even
Yeah we get [G]to be [D]what we wanna be.
[C]

[Verse 4]
[G]You’re more than the worst thing
[Am]you’ve ever done.
[C]You’re more than the worst
thing you’ve ever known.
[G]I’ll tell you min[D]e and you tell me [Am]yours,
[C]And we will know we are more.
[G]Remember

[Verse 5]
when you [D]feel you [Am]go astray,
[C]Who made the rules for us anyway?
Yeah we get [G]to be what [D]we wanna be.
[C]

[Verse 6]
When [Em]the face on that moon
[D]is just a d[G]eadpan
For your rhyming,
when it’s just [D]denying,
Yeah we get [G]to be [D]what we wanna [C]be.
When [Em]the sun in the [D]morn
ing is just a [G]reason
To keep on sleeping,
when you’re just break[D]ing even
Yeah we get [G]to be [D]what we wanna

[Interlude 1]
be.
[C][G]
[C][G]
[C][G][D][C]

[Verse 7]
Well all I [Em]know,
Yeah all I [C]know
When I let [Em]go of all this
[C]woe[D]…
You’ll be my [Am]valentine [Em]of sorts, [C]I’ll be love’s echo

[Verse 8]
and reports.
Togeth[G]er we’ll dance
[D]under that [Am]turning sky
Like [C]tumbling bats as the stars
arrive.
[G]And the face on that [D]moon is gonna

[Verse 9]
[Am]
laugh and swoon
[C]And flightless birds will find
their groove
’Cause we get [G]to be [D]what we
[C]wanna [Em]be[D][G][D]
Yeah we get [G]to be what we [D]wanna [C]be.

[Verse 10]
When [Em]the sun in [D]the morn
ing is just a reas[G]on
To keep on sleeping,
when you’re just break[D]ing even
Remember I [G]am I am [D]I a[C]m…
Yeah we get [G]to be what we
[D]wanna [C]be.
It’s good [G]to be you and it’s[C]good to be me.
