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#     B#             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    Eb
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    Eb
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.
