My Own Person

Intro: G Bm Am C
 
Verse 1:
G                                   Bm
Been rotating the same two outfits for three years now
Am                                        C
Waiting for some kind of inspiration to make me feel like I’m my own person
      G                                Bm
But buying new clothes just makes me feel down
  Am                                               C                                   G
Having new style would cause me more attention and I don’t feel like I’m my own person
Bm                                   Am      C
I just feel like some other version of me
 
Verse 2:
G                                          Bm
Been talking about the same problems for years now
       Am                                      C
But nothing I do seems to make things happen I try too hard, guess I gotta keep searching
G                                Bm
Can’t help but think I just stand out
   Am                                          C                                   G
No matter what I do it’s bad, it’s hurting and I don’t feel like I'm my own person
Bm                                  Am       C
I just feel like some other version of me
 
Chorus:
          Am         B7                    Em            B7              A7
I wanna blеnd into the background, I wanna be nobody and nevеr make a sound
        Am                              B7
But I wanna start feeling like I can be myself
        Em                   Gaug           A7                             Bbdim
Oh, wherever I go bad thoughts are lurking, I try and I try but I’m not my own person

Verse 3:
G                                      Bm      Am                                                 C
I need new shoes these ones are worn out, I’ll buy the same pair just a different version ‘cause God
                       G
forbid I put some effort in and
                                          Bm
It would be nice if I wasn’t filled with doubt
    Am                                                         C                                    G
Oh, I can’t help but feel that I’ve got some kind of curse and I don’t feel like I’m my own person
Bm                                  Am       C
I just feel like some other version of me
 
Chorus:
          Am         B7                    Em            B7              A7
I wanna blеnd into the background, I wanna be nobody and nevеr make a sound
        Am                              B7
But I wanna start feeling like I can be myself
        Em                   Gaug           A7                             Bbdim
Oh, wherever I go bad thoughts are lurking, I try and I try but I’m not my own person
 
Post-Chorus:
        Am                  B7               Em            B7          A7
I wanna be buried in the ground and I don’t want anyone to ever dig me out
         Am                   B7
And I’ve never had a sense of self
         Em                    Gaug                 A7                    Bbdim
Oh, the longer I stay here the more things worsen, I’ll never be my own person

I wanna blеnd into the background, I wanna be nobody and nevеr make a sound
        Am                              B7
But I wanna start feeling like I can be myself
